Writes Joseph Morabito:

Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, program executive officer for Ground Combat Vehicles said piles of cash are waiting in the wings during a panel at the 16th Annual Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering & Technology Symposium (GVSETS) in Novi, Mich.

“I have more authorizations to be able to request replenishment of about $6 billion of backlog. [The] replenishment industry cannot respond fast enough for me to actually commit all that,” Dean said. “If you [industry] want to do something, finding a way to produce faster and get bigger contracts in place, I can back up the money truck and dump it in your parking lot.”
