30 Days: Funding Mechanisms and PlansBy April 19, 2025 (30 days from the order), the DoD must add mineral production as a priority under its Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program and can begin using Defense Production Act (DPA) authority to allocate funds.

This fund, leveraging DoD investment authorities (including DPA) and DFC financing tools, could directly support miners and manufacturers.
