It is not lost on us that a key component of victory on the battlefield starts in our production facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2020\/03\/11\/the-army-is-making-artillery-great-again\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ERCA-PIM.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The Army is \u2018making artillery great again\u2019<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army plans to have a battalion&#039;s worth fielded by 2023.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The projectile facility is reportedly in the final stage of production. It is where the 155mm munition bodies are filled with explosive material, assembled and then packed. The Camden facility contains two new load, assemble and pack lines for high-explosive projectiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once fully operational the lines will be able to produce approximately 50,000 rounds each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s part of another effort to increase total monthly output of 155mm projectiles to 100,000. The new facility opened on April 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday is the result of a robust partnership between industry, local, state, and federal government teammates,\u201d said Pat Mason, a senior service official standing in for the job of assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology. \u201cAll parties worked quickly and flexibly to accelerate the construction you see around you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Army acquisition chief Doug Bush told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/10\/14\/army-races-to-widen-the-bottlenecks-of-artillery-shell-production\/\" target=\"_blank\">Defense News <\/a>back in October that shoring up all the 155mm parts and material production by the end of 2025 was a major goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s going to be a lot of ribbon cuttings between now and the end of the year,\u201d Bush said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon is investing billions to ramp up the capacity of 155mm munition production as it seeks to replenish munitions sent to support Ukraine\u2019s fight against the Russian invasion. The move also ensures the United States has sufficient artillery stockpiles should those rounds be required in another conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army planned to spend $3.1 billion in FY24 supplemental funding to increase artillery shell production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the Russian-Ukraine War the U.S. production capacity came in at around 14,400 of the artillery shells each month. But as Ukrainian forces burned through the artillery ammunition the United States recognized that replenishment could not be adequately accomplished with the existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of October, the Army was able to produce an estimated 40,000 artillery shells each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before this move, a single plant in the Pennsylvania city of Scranton had been the lone source of 155mm artillery shell production. The Army has added both a new plant in Mesquite, Texas, and the loading and packing lines in Camden, Arkansas, to meet the growing demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, another loading and packing facility is planned to stand up in Parsons, Kansas, Bush said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, the Army has also contracted with IMT Defense in Ontario, Canada, for an additional artillery shell production facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, the service awarded $1.5 billion in contracts to companies globally to procure bulk energetics like TNT and IMX-104 explosive as well primers and fuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The service can produce 40,000 monthly.
