After Epic Fury, a munitions supplemental becomes imperative

Over the course of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. and its partners have fired hundreds of defense interceptors and long-range missiles. While there may be sufficient stocks for the task at hand, other objectives, such as deterring aggression by China, are more uncertain. To manage present and future threats, Congress must pass a munitions supplemental to both replenish and expand.
