The purpose of the US going to 5.56 was to standardize NATO on a single rifle round.
The US taxpayer will probably foot the bill to re-equip all NATO forces with 6.8mm in the future.

20 million bucks isn’t nearly enough to replace all the 5.56s in use in the US Military. This will probably be used in dedicated units.
