>The US army will no longer field an American service rifle or SAW, how embarrassing and for a country with such a large firearms industry as well.

There is big chance that it is fully American, from design to production because European SIG is much smaller company that American one.

Almost every European firearms company that provide US army with guns is heavily localized in USA. Especially when European market is nothing compared to US one (including extremely large civilian part).

Biggest thing here is new cartridge. Migrating whole army from basic ammunition is an event that happens few times in century, especially when it is not small country army but US that may have endless amount of stockpiled 5.56 and it was ingrained in logistics for decades.
