DARC is a new kind of defense think tank
DARC continues its research series into private warfare today with a piece from "Fulton" exploring the wilder, more unregulated cousin of letters of marque: the bounty system Along the way, Fulton explores scalping, the 19th century defensetech scene, and the Torpedo Act of 1813
Huge move from @SecDef. For too long has the @DeptofDefense indulged a self-satisfied ecosystem of institutions, forums, and commentators that have done little but strangle the dynamism of American military thought and strategy. The next step is to pull the plug on funding.
This is what they took from us
95 percent of Right Wing nostalgia is just a picture of a woman with unbelievable honkers captioned, “This is what they took from us 😔”
DARC is commissioning work in this area, DMs are open. Please reach out. We are particularly interested in research focusing on the immediately available legal authorities to put this into motion, incentive design insights from parallel bounty efforts, and target identification.
What would this look like? U.S. citizens who uncover the use of CCP labor or equipment without the expressed permission of their servicing Department ought to be able to (1) report it and (2) if found to be true, should receive 5% of the total contract value.
We're going to do a lookbook that is entirely just fits like this

After the apoptosis of the Last Supper, we knew it. Clearly, we knew what we needed to do at the End of the Cold War. We might only do it now, in the midst of Cold War II. Because Winning Matters.
For over thirty years now, we have had a law on the books that should have sounded the death knell for the dominance of the primes over defense industry: The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, which legally encodes a preference for commercial solutions in procurement.
