摘要

Pentagon acquisition chief Ashton Carter is urging military leaders to seek contracting opportunities for small businesses, underscoring these efforts are particularly important this year because of the role small businesses play in the recovery of the U.S. economy.rnAmerican small businesses are a "key source of innovation, providing needed capability" to warfighters, Carter writes in an Aug. 2 memo to the military departments, U.S. Special Operations Command, U.S. Transportation Command and defense agencies.
