The US Army is significantly increasing ammunition production to meet global demands, particularly for conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, and to support the transition to the 6.8mm Next Generation Squad Weapon. A new, highly automated facility in Mesquite, Texas, operated by General Dynamics, is crucial for boosting the production of ammunition components and raw materials, which in turn enhances output at established plants like Scranton Army Ammunition Plant and Lake City Ammo. This strategic expansion aims to ensure a robust supply chain beyond relying solely on existing stockpiles.
