National Defense Industrial Association

The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) is an association for the United States government and the defense industry. Based in Arlington, Virginia, NDIA was established in 1919 as a result of the inability of the defense industry to scale up the war effort during World War I. It connects government officials, military and industry professionals, and organizations that represent the branches of the armed forces, homeland security, and first responders. The NDIA publishes a magazine, the National Defense, and holds over 80 symposia a year.

History

The National Defense Industrial Association was established in 1968 as the Army Ordnance Association (AOA). Much of the military hardware used during the war was European-made with very little American production. At the end of the war, changes in the power structures across the world, such as the rise of communism in Russia and right-wing politics elsewhere in Europe, led to the United States establish an indigenous military policy. The AOA was established in 1919 to link the defense industry and US military. After the end of World War II, the AOA played a major role in preventing the US military from scaling down defense manufacturing, by its successful lobbying.
