Military should seek multiple supply sources: Analyst

Article Abstract:

Daniel Goure, a defense analyst, believes that the Department of Defense should seek to have geographically diverse suppliers for each type of military product needed. Goure, who is vice president with Lexington Institute, a Washington-area think tank that focuses on military and other issues, indicated that the military should not deal with a single supplier in procuring needed weapons and systems to avoid a catastrophic loss of production facilities in a single natural disaster or terrorist attack.

Article Abstract:

Another worry is DOD's move to contain its budget vis-a-vis its major programs.
