But a new US Army contract for a TNT production facility in Kentucky will change that. The US intends to start making TNT at home again. The US Army plans to build a domestic production facility for the explosive compound, which the Pentagon has long been forced to obtain from overseas. Restarting domestic TNT production is an investment in the country's industrial base, she said. The new TNT production facility is expected to help strengthen the US military's preparation for large-scale conflict.

Nine of South Korea's submarines have defects that could sideline them for extended periods. The issue comes to light as North Korea launches scores of missiles in shows of force to its neighbors. South Korea's sub woes come as North Korea continues to issue threats over joint US-South Korean military exercises that Pyongyang claims are a rehearsal for an invasion. Aircraft in particular would be key to destroying North Korean nuclear sites, artillery emplacements, and even decapitation strikes against the North's leaders. Superior US and South Korean naval capabilities — perhaps assisted by Japanese forces — allow for amphibious landings, special-forces raids, blockades, and shore bombardment.
