Executive Order – White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience and U.S. Supply Chain Security

Launch a 90-day data-sharing framework among related organizations within the industry to map last-mile vulnerabilities in processing networks; prioritize projects that extinguished risk; improve visibility for procurement and manufacturing sectors. This baseline enables targeted investments; a unified workforce alignment across agencies will be possible, elevating line-level capability.

Meaning of the framework rests on consolidating data sources; standardizing metrics; aligning them with national safety goals; in tribal areas, the plan directs targeted projects to move workers toward territorial hubs along the line of operations, reducing gaps in service delivery while extinguishing critical bottlenecks.

First steps begin with legislative-year allocations; investing in processing facilities, training pipelines, modern data-sharing platforms; necessary funding supports this, reducing equity gaps by prioritizing high-need areas, including tribal communities, then expanding coverage to additional portions of the network.

Key metrics encompass workforce participation, geographic reach, project completion rates, cost efficiency; part of the measure targets reducing disparities by concentrating resources where they are most needed, with emphasis on territorial balance and meaningful work opportunities for local workers.

Wnioski: The plan emphasizes investing in human capital, strengthening continuity of essential operations, plus ensuring transparent reporting; as a result, last-mile reliability improves, projects reach fruition, equity gains for workers in high-risk areas rise across the legislative year.

Executive Order Framework for Federal Action on Supply Chain Resilience and Security

Recommendation: enact a legislative framework that standardizes risk reporting and supplier diversification across sectors to strengthen the logistics network against cyber-attacks.

Launch a biennial summit to align industry leaders, states, and countrys with allies, because reducing reliance on single providers requires coordinated actions to improve continuity, safety, and impact.

Coordinate with apnsa to identify critical nodes in manufacturing and ocean logistics sector and to serve essential operations; implement protective controls that limit impact on emergency operations and normal activities.

Create a senior-level task force to continue to support the president, coordinating with organizations and allies to keep momentum, monitor impact, and sustain future capabilities.

Develop a continuous improvement program to keep progress measured at multiple levels and at the level of critical facilities, with ongoing cooperation among stakeholders, and ensuring diverse suppliers and safety standards become standard practice.

Define Council Roles, Membership, and Decision Rights

First, appoint a chair from the public sector with cross-industry credibility to steer agendas, coordinate responses across actors, and authorize rapid actions during cyber-attacks. The chair would lead quarterly reviews and ensure minutes are published in the applicable section within 48 hours after each meeting.

Membership framework: The panel would bring together aluminum producers, steel mills, electronics manufacturers, ports authorities, dockworkers, labor unions, shippers and freight forwarders, carriers, and financial partners. Include cyber risk specialists and incident responders, with participation from federal and state partners to ensure American interests are represented. Their diverse perspectives would improve react timing and data reliability, because last year’s events showed how malicious actors exploited gaps at ports and within time-sensitive logistics windows. Russian actors would be monitored as part of ongoing risk awareness.

Decision rights: Routine operational choices require a simple majority to approve; strategic policies and multi-year budgets demand a two‑thirds vote. In time-critical scenarios tied to cyber-attacks or major disruptions, the chair may authorize interim actions for up to 72 hours, after which the full panel must confirm a longer-term plan. All decisions and actions would be documented in the section and shared with the united community within 24 hours of approval.

Beginning and review cycle: Launch a six-month pilot across key ports and inland hubs, with a target investment of up to $1.2 billion to modernize information-sharing, alerting, and response protocols. Key metrics include port throughput, hundred-million-dollar impacts avoided, and dockworkers’ participation rates, alongside time-to-detect and time-to-restore for cyber-attacks. The first milestone is a formal review at the three-month mark to decide whether to continue, expand, or recalibrate approaches.

Keep focus on applicable outcomes: Maintain clear lines of accountability, ensure reliable data feeds, and begin with a concrete section-by-section plan that covers governance, escalation paths, and reporting cadence. Your organization would bring expertise from industry segments, the united summit would align public and private priorities, and american stakeholders would ensure domestic resilience against malicious incursions while continuing to attract private investment and maintain momentum in a rapidly changing environment.

Identify High-Risk Sectors and Data Gaps for Resilience Planning

Recommendation: Immediately establish a 60-day sector risk map using a standardized data model across ministries, industry associations, and operators; enlist senior officials to identify critical gaps and launch a central dashboard to inform response planning.

Prioritized sectors include industrial manufacturing, energy generation, transportation networks, chemical processing, food and agriculture value chains, information technology, and essential retail logistics. Key risk drivers are single-source suppliers, long transoceanic routes, climate exposure, port congestion, and dependence on carriers across countries; map exposure by country, route, mode, and processing stage to quantify days of disruption and potential impact on business revenue.

Data gaps hamper accurate planning; however, the most persistent gaps are real-time visibility into carrier schedules and inland flows, timely port and border processing metrics, supplier tier information, and incident reporting across countries. Additional blind spots include cost structures (fees and duties), capacity vs demand curves, and lack of standardized data formats across offices and associations.

Evidence from research and analyses across the world highlights the need for stronger data-sharing mechanisms. Leverage industry association networks and country office reports to benchmark risk profiles and identify high-risk corridors. Use the general framework to help their teams coordinate to protect operations and serve stakeholders.

Actions to close gaps: invest in a standardized data-sharing framework; appoint a dedicated office lead; set a 12-week cadence for refreshing inputs; implement a risk indicator set with metrics such as visibility score, timeliness, accuracy, and completeness. Track costs and fees, ensure appropriate governance and privacy controls, and align with sustainability targets to avoid excessive burden on business partners.

Key metrics to monitor include days of downtime, recovery time, carrier reliability, processing throughput, and coverage across countries. Use a general risk index and a continuous improvement loop to serve industry needs and protect critical functions.

Implementation timeline and ownership: form an office-led working group under the ministry; define responsibilities; publish quarterly briefs; require carriers to report on capacity and disruptions; track days of disruption and recovery progress; identify most at-risk routes and sectors for targeted support.

Agency Requirements: Risk Assessments, Continuity Plans, and Supplier Transparency

Recommendation: Implement a nationwide, standardized risk assessment framework to identify high-exposure vendors, processing sites, and transportation nodes. Define a risk basis with categories for health, environmental factors, cyber threats, and operational disruption; classify affected assets by likelihood and impact, and require defined scoring and documentation. Establish a review cadence that continues through full-scale events, with quarterly reporting to the president’s office and related associations. Steps include mapping dependencies, quantifying exposure, conducting on-site verification, and establishing a central data repository for ongoing review across sections.

Continuity planning should translate risk findings into actionable measures. Steps: map critical flows and processing steps; set minimum service levels; identify alternative vendors and routing options; codify triggers and escalation paths. Invite cross-sector participation through the association and regional offices; advance capability by incorporating environmental health considerations; align with defined objectives; pursue forward-looking measures that reduce downtime and protect health while coordinating with tribal partners around nationwide operations.

Transparency of supplier information requires a structured disclosure framework. Build a baseline profile including ownership, geographic footprint, processing capacity, critical dependencies, and environmental risk indicators. Require inviting suppliers to disclose information and to validate data via on-site review or third-party assessment; connect data to performance metrics; maintain nationwide visibility while protecting sensitive information. Extend engagement to tribal entities and Angola to demonstrate scalability; define the extent of exposure and steps to reduce risk using the association framework; assign an assistant to monitor compliance and progress within each section of the program.

Public-Private Information Sharing: Mechanisms, Dashboards, and Privacy

State of the Union Commitments: Timeline, Milestones, and Accountability

Recommendation: implement a five-year, cross-sector monitoring framework with quarterly progress reviews, independent analyses, and a public accountability mechanism chaired by a chairman. This approach targets current vulnerabilities across the sector, including cyber-attacks on critical systems and the corridor that moves minerals and other goods along coast-to-coast routes from west to east, with the goal of building a resilient network, reducing risk, and providing assistant-level support to agencies and programs.

Timeline and time-bound actions: within 12 months, publish baseline analyses of revenue implications and time-to-disruption for core flows; within 24 months, launch joint programs to harden systems and reduce cyber-attacks; within 36 months, align fees and funding flows to allow faster remediation; within 60 months, demonstrate enduring improvements across countries and sectors, then refresh the scope through ongoing coordination of west and east partners.

Milestones: Milestone 1: baseline data published; Milestone 2: first cross-agency exercise completed; Milestone 3: corridor routing adjusted to reduce transit times; Milestone 4: integrated monitoring systems operational; Milestone 5: annual report to the chairman and agencies detailing outcomes and forecast for the next period.

Accountability: establish a public dashboard reviewed by the chairman; require earlier warnings for emerging incidents; mandate periodic audits by independent analyses; ensure assistant support for field offices; tie performance to program funding and revenue outcomes; include disaster-disaster drills to test preparedness.

Funding and governance: fees collected to support programs aligned with purposes; prioritize investments that reduce losses from disasters; ensure apnsa-supported analyses inform policy choices; maintain cross-region coordination between west and east; provide ongoing support to minimize disruptions across minerals-focused economies; allow policy flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and then adjust the trajectory for enduring improvement.

Outlook: by last year and then future, converge on a data-driven model; publish analyses that inform decisions and allow for continuous lessons; sustain this approach through the coming years; ensure the system remains current and adaptable to new threats while maintaining focus on the goals of reducing disruptions and strengthening economic activity across the coast, corridor, and hinterlands.
