The US Defense Department has urged American defense firms to rapidly increase their production and delivery of weapons due to a critical shortage, according to a memo reported by The Washington Post. Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg informed defense industry leaders that they had just 21 days to submit plans for significantly faster delivery schedules and/or greater production of crucial capabilities, as stated in the Post's cited memo.
Feinberg emphasized that lengthy development periods are unacceptable and demanded that companies accelerate their schedules and production capacity. On Thursday, President Trump dismissed reports of his dissatisfaction with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding the depleted stockpile of American missile interceptors, which was one of the primary concerns discussed between them before the administration decided to halt military escalation against Iran at the end of last month.
