The intensity of conflict in the 21st Century and the need for weapons and munitions has been a learning experience for American defense officials working to supply Ukraine for its fight against Russia.
William A. LaPlante, the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, said the need “really outpaces anything we’ve seen in recent memory.”
LaPlante spoke during a Pentagon news conference where he said European allies are seeing the same situation and all are working together to get the Ukrainians what they need.
