Book excerpt: Since 1939, the U.S. government, using the National Defense Stockpile (NDS), has been stockpiling critical strategic materials for national defense. The economic and national security environments, however, have changed significantly from the time the NDS was created. Current threats are more varied, production and processing of key materials is more globally dispersed, the global competition for raw materials is increasing, the U.S. military is more dependent on civilian industry, and industry depends far more on just-in-time inventory control. To help determine the significance of these changes for the strategic materials stockpile, the Department of Defense asked the NRC to assess the continuing need for and value of the NDS. This report begins with the historical context of the NDS. It then presents a discussion of raw-materials and minerals supply, an examination of changing defense planning and materials needs, an analysis of modern tools used to manage materials supply chains, and an assessment of current operational practices of the NDS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Stockpile is composed of strategic and critical materials that can be used in times of national emergency. The stockpile was established to minimize dependence on foreign sources of these materials. Because of changes in mobilization planning and modernization of weapon systems, stockpiling requirements for numerous materials have been reduced dramatically in the past two decades, with only a few materials still being required. The reported value of stockpile inventories on hand has also decreased through annually authorized sales of excess stockpile materials, from about $10.1 billion in fiscal year 1987 to about $3.4 billion as of September 30, 1999.

Book excerpt: Reviews issues surrounding a dispute between the American Zinc Association (AZA) and the federal government about the Department of Defense's (DoD) sale of excess zinc from the National Defense Stockpile. AZA believes that the amount of zinc DoD plans to sell annually is too high and will cause undue disruption of the usual markets for zinc. This report assesses (1) the government's basis for its interpretation of the statutory phase "usual markets" as applied to the zinc sales program and (2) DoD's efforts to not unduly disrupt the zinc market.
