Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George warned in December 2025 that American Patriot and THAAD missile defense stockpiles were critically low and would remain insufficient until at least 2030. He was later ousted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The shortages were attributed to weapons transfers to Ukraine, air defense operations supporting Israel, and limited U.S. manufacturing capacity. The Iran war subsequently accelerated the depletion.
