National Defense Production Act

The National Defense Production Act (NDPA) is a U.S. law that authorizes the government to prioritize and allocate resources for national security and emergency needs. It allows the government to direct industries to produce essential goods, like military equipment or critical supplies during crises, ensuring readiness and response efficiency. The act also encourages industry cooperation and innovation, helping address significant threats or emergencies quickly while maintaining a free-market economy. Overall, it’s a tool for the government to mobilize production capacity in times of national importance.
