November developments show the Department of War (DoW) entering a new operational and acquisition phase defined by stabilized near-term funding, sweeping structural reform, and an uncompromising push for speed in capability delivery. From the end of the historic government shutdown to the rapid release of delayed contract awards, the Department has signaled that modernization will continue at pace, even amid budgetary and leadership transition. Simultaneously, the shift to Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs), acceptance of calculated risk, and expanded engagement with nontraditional suppliers underscore a fundamental transformation in how the Pentagon intends to buy, field, and scale future warfighting capability.
