That, sir, is the spot-on question. Especially so, considering the listed slate of speakers. Curious how they are properly credentialed to answer so specific a question (like "DOD").

Yes, with a broad "Government" role defined, DODs role would properly derive.

I'd offer that it will require far more than merely an "approach". Rather, it will require a truly "all-hands-on-deck" orchestrated way of conducting business.
