Navy Urges Wartime Speed to Deter China
Liberty Check
The Secretary of the Navy is pushing for unprecedented speed in weapons production as China escalates its military expansion in the Pacific.
A new naval office will unite rapid research, development, and deployment to defend America’s maritime interests and maintain peace through strength.
- The Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) now leads urgent weapon and ship development, aiming to close the gap with China’s shipbuilding capacity.
- Secretary John Phelan demands “wartime footing,” calling bureaucracy “unacceptable” and insisting on faster procurement—“contracts measured in weeks, not years.”
- Trump’s executive orders and the new National Security Strategy prioritize U.S. dominance in the Indo-Pacific, compelling the defense sector to move faster and innovate.
Phelan’s plan is a response to the threat posed by China and a call to restore government accountability by energizing American industry and innovation for national security.
The Constitution guarantees our right to defense; ensuring military readiness preserves freedom at home and strength abroad.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
