Prior to WWII, we were not only increasing the size of the Army and Navy but also defense production and we still took it in the shorts for the first 1.5 years we were in the war. I doubt we will have that luxury if this expands into open conflict.
“There is nothing in that article talking about the expansion of production capacity”
Thats what they mean by DIB (Defense Industrial Base). Thats what adding production lines means. Adding machinery and especially knowledgable personnel. This IS defense production.
We are building new factories and updating old ones, we are increasing production.
This is an example for the 155 shells while also updating and increasing the existing sources for 155 shells.
“The Army is building three new production lines for 155mm artillery ammunition in Texas, the Pentagon has confirmed, which are each expected to be in operation and producing 30,000 projectile shell bodies per month by the end of 2025.”
That is because Marxist Democrats don’t have any interest in our defense and industrial base. President Trump will be fixing that in a few months, thankfully.
