Rheinmetall has secured a framework agreement with DALO for supplying up to 1,000 HX and TG military trucks.
Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) has signed a contract with GDELS for the latest generation M3 amphibious bridge and ferry system.
The U.S. military is investing $400 million for “immediate work” on improving and renovating aging, faulty and dilapidated troop housing.
That investment is part of a $1.2 billion funding plan to overhaul barracks across the services, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a video posted to social media last week.
