Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (A/DUSD) for Acquisition and Sustainment, Ms. Deborah Rosenblum, traveled to Hawaii last month to observe the 2024 Beholder’s Gaze (BG24) experiment with United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM).
BG24 allowed USINDOPACOM to explore new combinations of technologies and operational concepts to ensure early warning against advanced chemical and biological threats in line with the Biodefense Posture Review. Lessons from BG24 will also inform requirements and technology development.
During the trip, A/DUSD Rosenblum met with Lieutenant General Joshua Rudd, Deputy Commander of USINDOPACOM, to discuss future efforts to ensure USINDOPACOM continues to outpace emerging chemical and biological threats.
