The US Army is seeking $1.1 million in penalties from Northrop Grumman Corp. and Global Military Products Inc. for late artillery ammunition deliveries to Ukraine. This action follows a November 20 Pentagon Inspector General report highlighting delays of up to 18 months on large caliber shells.

The specific penalty amounts for each contractor are still under assessment. The Army's commitment to contractor accountability involves monitoring contract execution and applying remedies for non-compliance. The contractors obtained a five-year indefinite delivery contract in January 2022 as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
