    Maj. Gen. John Reim, Program Executive Officer Ammunition and Armaments and Picatinny Arsenal Commanding General, listens during a tour of one of the ammunition production facilities as part of the groundbreaking ceremony for the new ammunition plant, Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025, in Independence, Mo. The new facility will produce 6.8mm ammunition, which enhances soldier lethality and accuracy, bolstering the Army's modernization priorities, and supporting the local economy. Ninety percent of the work will go to Kansas City-area industries, creating jobs and driving growth.
