Military Arms Report: Prioritizing US-Made Weapons

This bill requires the Department of Defense to study the use of foreign-made weapons and parts by the U.S. Armed Forces. The goal is to recommend ways to increase the procurement of small arms and light weapons manufactured entirely in the United States by American-owned entities. Citizens might see an indirect impact through support for domestic defense industries and job creation.
Key points
The Department of Defense will study the prevalence of foreign-made small arms and light weapons used by the military.
A report with recommendations for procuring wholly U.S.-manufactured weapons will be submitted within 180 days.
The act aims to promote domestic arms manufacturing.
