The US Army is addressing ammunition production bottlenecks by partnering with Idaho National Laboratories to develop mobile critical material refineries. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on foreign sources, particularly China, for key raw materials like antimony trisulfide, essential for primer manufacturing. The project seeks to ensure a stable supply of both small arms and large caliber ammunition for military and civilian needs.

The US Army, in partnership with Idaho National Laboratories, has developed the first mobile critical material refinery. This initiative aims to address global ammunition shortages by enabling on-site refinement of raw materials like antimony trisulfide, crucial for primer and bullet alloy production. The mobile refinery can be transported to various locations, enhancing domestic production capabilities and reducing reliance on foreign sources.
