A Defense Department watchdog reports that a 155mm artillery ammunition plant in Mesquite, Texas, has not produced any metal projectile parts despite being funded by the U.S. Army. CBS News reports that the facility was built about two years ago and that the Army spent $469 million to establish it. According to the watchdog’s findings, the plant has produced nothing, indicating that the expected manufacturing output has not materialized. The reporting focuses on the lack of production of metal projectile components, rather than on the reasons for the shortfall or any corrective actions taken. The watchdog’s assessment centers on the performance of the facility relative to its purpose as an ammunition production site for 155mm artillery. The coverage does not suggest changes to the plant’s status beyond the watchdog’s conclusion that it has failed to generate the anticipated output since construction began.
