Hello and welcome to the fighter pilot podcast, the internet show that explores the fascinating

world of air combat.

I am your host, Vincent Aiello, and this week we bring you the eighth installment of On Future

War, a monthly series from our friends at Authentic Media in cooperation with cubic defense.

In this episode, Mike Benitez and Gary Haas discuss supply chain and weapons attrition,

assumptions, realities, even World War II carryovers. It's all here in this month's episode

of On Future War. So let's get started. Here we go. As technologies and geopolitics change, so does the nature of warfare.

Welcome back to On Future War, a series sponsored by Cubic Defense that looks at emerging technologies

and how they may affect peer and near peer-level conflict in the future, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region,

with a specific focus on military tactics,

operations, and strategy, and their interaction with the other instruments of national security

policy.

The future is now.

The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.

The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

Welcome back to On Future War.

So far in the series, we've discussed multiple topics focused on strategy, doctrine, tactics, and technology. But the best plans are no more than good ideas without the supplies, particularly armaments, to back them up. In this episode, Paco is joined by Gary Haas, a 27-plus year military veteran,

currently working for a defense contractor in ordinance and tactical systems to discuss

the supply chain challenges in maintaining supplies of high-end weapons.

Today, on Future War.

This is authentic.
