US ARMY LAMBASTS GENERAL DYNAMICS FOR ARTILLERY PLANT FAILURES
>The United States Army has issued a “show cause” letter to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) over its questionable management of three new 155mm artillery round production lines. GD-OTS has until July 10 to justify construction delays and improper equipment.
>The three new Universal Artillery Projectile Lines (UAPL), located in Mesquite, Texas, were contracted in response to the Ukraine War’s prolific expenditure of artillery shells. American stocks were quickly depleted as aid was rushed to Ukraine, and then to Israel
>The Army requires a 100,000 round per month production rate to resupply US ordnance magazines while also supporting those two wars.
1.2 million shells a year? that's it? That's just 3.2k shells/day and that's supposed to replenish stores AND feed Israel AND Ukraine? Garbage.
>With a stated goal of 100,000 rounds per month by October, 2025, the US was only producing 18,000 complete rounds as of September 2024, growing to 36,000 rounds by June of this year. But the delays in getting the Mesquite UAPLs online will extend the 100,000 round per month goal to, at least, early 2026.
