The Pentagon has given industry 21 days to ramp up weapons production plans, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon has asked US defence industry leaders to develop plans to increase weapons production and delivery, as reports of weapons shortages are spreading.
The deputy defence secretary said there are no more than three weeks to submit plans to increase weapons production.
'We must dramatically accelerate our programme schedule,' the deputy defence secretary said.
