CMMC Hit the Brakes...Because the Arsenal Can't Wait!
The government just suspended CMMC Phase II—and the reason goes far beyond cybersecurity.

In this episode, Jim breaks down what the CMMC pause really means, what requirements remain in force, how it could reshape competition for defense machining, and why the next two-plus years may create extraordinary opportunities for manufacturers that are truly prepared to execute.
