No, only the final assembly steps are done in Anniston so that General Dynamics can dodge the Berry Amendment that states "DoD SHALL buy American." The last I heard from the Anniston Star, the folks out at the Anniston Depot were bolting on the wheels and putting the "finished vehicle" on railroad flatcars for delivery to Ft. Lewis.

Far be it for me to challenge such an expert as you claim to be, but the GD Ontario plant had insufficient capbility to support the full production schedule for the Army's buy. The Army decided to convert Anniston to both assembly and production. But then, I'm sure your sources have a direct line to the decision makers.
