Brent Ingraham, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, expressed dissatisfaction with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) over production delays at the 155mm artillery projectiles facility in Mesquite, Texas. Since its opening in 2024, aimed at producing 100,000 shells monthly, the facility has not produced any projectiles.

The Army currently manufactures 56,000 shells per month and is still negotiating with GD-OTS regarding the contract. Army officials are considering termination of GD-OTS's oversight if no progress is made towards the production goals.
