Defense spending is nearing $! trillion annually.
US defense is unable to supply adequate numbers of artillery & missile munitions.
Procurement is a cluster*@!k!
Littoral Combat Ships decommissioned before they deploy—a $30 billion experiment that could not survive contact with reality.
Destroyers delayed by years—the Zumwalt class, conceived as revolutionary, delivered as dysfunctional.
the F-35C, a symbol of joint acquisition dysfunction.
Ford aircraft carrier class is a nightmare of technical & cost problems.
And shipyards that can’t build or repair on schedule.
And now add a lack of maintenance to combat vehicles.
It would seem that the US DOD oops DOW is in dire need of efficiency.
