I agree with you in principle, but I worry that the United States hasn't been stockpiling enough ordinance to keep that up for very long at all. We don't keep many munitions factories on a hot standby either.
Of all the shortages the US military has, this is not one of them. They have an almost unlimited capacity to destroy fixed targets.
