US Army Faces Challenges in Maintaining Major Weapons Systems
The US Army is facing challenges in maintaining its readiness rate, according to Undersecretary Michael Obadal. The service has real problems with major weapons systems, including magazine depth, which has put pressure on the current situation. To address these issues, the Army is turning to industry for help through public-private partnerships and a new modernization effort. This may signal a shift towards more collaborative approaches to addressing capability gaps.
