The remaining budget will be redirected to expedite the deployment of key warfare capabilities, potentially saving significant funds over the next two years.
In a strategic shift, the Pentagon revealed on Wednesday its decision to cancel a planned order for M10 Booker combat vehicles initially agreed upon in a 2022 deal with General Dynamics Land Systems. This decision comes as a reaction to evolving global events, indicating a reassessment of military priorities.
