The United States is considering expanding weapons production by involving civilian manufacturers as its military stockpiles decline due to ongoing conflicts.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the US Department of Defense has held discussions with major corporations about increasing the production of weapons and military supplies.

Senior officials met with executives from companies such as General Motors, led by Mary Barra, and Ford, led by Jim Farley, to explore the possibility of shifting production capacity toward defense manufacturing.

Other companies, including GE Aerospace and Oshkosh Defense, also participated in the talks.

Officials reportedly described increased weapons production as a national security priority, noting that the current defense industry alone may not meet demand. They also asked companies to identify barriers in contracting and bidding processes.

The discussions gained urgency as U.S. stockpiles of key systems, including Tomahawk missile, have been significantly depleted. This has raised concerns about delays in fulfilling international defense commitments.

Analysts say the approach resembles the U.S. strategy during World War II, when civilian industries were rapidly converted into large-scale military production.
