The US Department of Defense has requested an emergency allocation of funds to restore weapon stockpiles depleted during recent military engagements in the Middle East. The Pentagon warned Congress that $1.5 trillion is necessary to rapidly replenish inventories of Patriot, Tomahawk, and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) munitions spent in the Iran operation.

Military commanders privately warned Vice President JD Vance that interceptor supplies had plummeted, leaving one theater with fewer than 100 Patriot missiles by late spring. These assessments indicate that Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) reached their lowest levels ever during the campaign.
