战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯周四向武器制造商发出警示，特朗普政府正推动削减五角大楼繁文缛节、扩大竞争并加速美国武器生产，这是其“自由兵工厂”倡议的一部分。在X平台分享的一段视频中，赫格塞斯强调了华盛顿改革国防采购、扩大私营部门竞争以及加快先进武器系统生产的决心。“自由兵工厂已全面释放，”赫格塞斯在帖子中写道。
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth put weapons manufacturers on notice Thursday as the Trump administration pushes to cut Pentagon red tape, expand competition and accelerate American weapons production as part of its "Arsenal of Freedom" initiative. In a video shared on X, Hegseth highlighted Washington's drive to overhaul defense procurement, expand private-sector competition and speed up production of advanced weapons systems. "The Arsenal of Freedom has been UNLEASHED," Hegseth posted.
视频展示了导弹发射、海军武器系统试射、弹药生产线以及工人为美军制造弹药的场景。赫格塞斯还强调，应由表现而非承包商的名头决定哪些公司为美军提供装备。“我不在乎火箭侧面印着哪家公司的名字。不在乎。我们唯一问自己的问题是，它是不是最好的？”赫格塞斯在视频中说。“你们为我们的导弹、拦截弹和高超音速武器制造的技术，使战争部能够实现以强制和平，”赫格塞斯继续说道。
The video features missile launches, naval weapons systems firing, ammunition production lines and workersg munitions for U.S. forces. Hegseth also stressed that performance, not a contractor's name, should determine which companies supply America's military. "I don’t care what company is on the side of the rocket. Don't care. The only thing we ask ourselves is, is it the best?" Hegseth said in the video. "The technology that you build for our missiles, interceptors and hypersonic weapons is what allows the War Department to achieve peace through strength," Hegseth continued.
“这一使命伴随着一项来自坚毅之桌和特朗普总统的不可商量的指令：多造、快造。”赫格塞斯将这一制造推进描述为增强美军备战状态和威慑外国对手的核心。“当我们释放工业潜力——当我们终于释放出原始的、竞争的和爱国的精神——美利坚合众国永远会赢，”他说。“竞争让我们赢，创新让我们赢，快速行动让我们赢。我们正在此刻此地、在美国本土、以光速为我们的战士装备面向未来的装备。”
"And that mission comes with a non-negotiable mandate straight from the Resolute Desk and President Trump: build more and build faster." Hegseth framed the manufacturing push as central to strengthening American military readiness and deterring foreign adversaries. "When we unleash industry—when we at long last unleash the raw, competitive, and patriotic spirit—the United States of America always wins," he said. "When we compete, we win. When we innovate, we win. When we go fast, we win. We're equipping our warriors for the future right here and right now, made in the United States of America, and we're doing it at light speed."
“自由兵工厂”运动呼应了美国二战时期的“民主兵工厂”，当时美国工厂大幅扩充武器生产，为美军和盟军提供装备。
The "Arsenal of Freedom" campaign echoes America's World War II-era "Arsenal of Democracy," when U.S. factories dramatically expanded weapons production to supply American and Allied forces.
该政府的国防工业战略旨在精简五角大楼采购流程，减少官僚障碍，并引入更多私营企业和技术初创公司进入军事供应链。该举措强调商业技术应用、加快生产速度，以及增强国防承包商和制造商之间的竞争。赫格塞斯今年早些时候启动了全国巡访，首站造访弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯的一家造船厂，此后已走访全国各地的国防制造设施。
The administration's defense industrial strategy is to streamline Pentagon procurement, reduce bureaucratic barriers and bring more private companies and technology startups into the military supply chain. The effort emphasizes commercial technology, faster production and greater competition among defense contractors and manufacturers. Hegseth launched the nationwide tour earlier this year with a stop at a shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, and has since visited defense manufacturing facilities across the country.
10月20日，赫格塞斯在威斯康星州欧克莱尔的河畔机械与工程公司进行巡访，小企业管理局局长凯利·勒弗勒和当地议员陪同。他在此宣扬所谓的“美国制造业黄金时代”，强调国内供应链和国防工业就业岗位。这一制造业推动计划出台之际，正值五角大楼寻求强化美国武器储备、维持军事备战状态，以应对来自对手的威胁，其中包括与伊朗持续近八个月的战争。
On Oct. 20, Hegseth toured Riverside Machine and Engineering in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, alongside Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler and local lawmakers. There, he touted what he called a "golden age of American manufacturing," highlighting domestic supply chains and defense industry jobs. The manufacturing push comes as the Pentagon seeks to strengthen U.S. weapons stockpiles and sustain military readiness amid threats from adversaries, including the almost eight-month war with Iran.
在造访美国中央司令部在中东的行动后，赫格塞斯强调了扩大精确制导导弹、防空拦截弹及其他关键武器系统产量的重要性。五角大楼 进一步置评。
Following visits to U.S. Central Command operations in the Middle East, Hegseth emphasized the importance of expanding production of precision missiles, air defense interceptors and other critical weapons systems. Pentagon for further comment.
