Event Recap: September 9, 2024

BENS members David Bonfili, Samuel Cole, and Al Puchala engaged with a group of U.S. Marine Corps officers in New York this week, sharing invaluable perspectives on how to utilize the private sector as a critical force multiplier for U.S. national security. Their discussions shed light on industry practices and strategies, particularly related to infrastructure and technology investment. This event laid the foundation for a broader BENS initiative aimed at equipping senior military leaders with a deeper understanding of how to leverage private industry and capital to address the infrastructure and capability challenges facing the national security community today.
