US military pushes companies to ‘dramatically accelerate’ weapons production as Iran war burns through supply, memo says

In a memo on Wednesday, Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg gave companies three weeks to lay out how they would “drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production for critical capabilities.”
