Wicker | W000437 | www.wicker.senate.gov | wicker | https://www.wicker.senate.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today commended Secretary Hegseth for his forward-looking speech on acquisition reform, which highlights key steps to modernize the procurement process and strengthen America’s defense industrial base. Secretary Hegseth’s remarks recognized Senator Wicker’s leading role in advancing reform through the FORGED Act, a bipartisan measure streamlining defense contracting and fostering innovation. The secretary also endorsed Wicker’s priorities: a “commercial first” procurement approach to leverage private-sector solutions; expanding the industrial base with new defense technology companies; and empowering acquisition personnel through portfolio management for more efficient capability delivery. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
