The Department of War's Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy announced Monday that it is investing $450 million in The Elmet Group, a U.S.-owned, fully integrated producer of tungsten and molybdenum materials and components.

It has three core functions:

* Protect Supply Chains: The unit secures critical materials like tungsten and rare minerals to avoid foreign dependencies.

* Deploy Capital: It helps structure large government investments using private market strategies.

* Target Adversaries: It focuses on countering economic pressure from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
