Originally, the service wanted $16 billion to modernize the base, according to Marion Whicker of U.S. Army Materiel Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, in FY23 alone, the Army will inject $2.5 billion into modernizing the organic industrial base, mostly through supplemental funding provided by Congress to replenish stockpiles, she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To dramatically increase capacity that quickly, \u201cyou need additional production lines,\u201d Army acquisition chief Doug Bush told reporters at the Global Force event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/video\/2023\/02\/13\/go-inside-the-plant-making-artillery-rounds-for-us-and-ukrainian-armies\/\" target=\"_blank\">makes artillery shells at Scranton Army Ammunition Plant<\/a> in Pennsylvania as well as a General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems facility nearby in Wilkes Barre. It fills them at a government facility in Iowa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is under contract to build another facility with a company in Canada, and is standing up yet another with the General Dynamics unit in Garland, Texas, to make additional shell bodies. Iowa is expanding its capability, and there is some production expansion into Kansas, Bush noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not all in one place,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s literally building new factories and putting advanced machine tools in them. That\u2019s really the only way to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is investing $349 million to more than double its monthly production of launchers to 41 a month and 330 missiles per month, Camarillo said. Production for Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems will increase from 566 rockets per month to more than 1,100 by FY26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Army unveils a
