NORMAL.
For fricks sake. Only a small portion of the armed forces are combat ready officially at any time. You cycle down and cycle up.
It's normal for 74% of your weapons to NOT WORK?

They're bullshitting you. Trust me. I was an Army maintenance officer. No MCO or Chief in the army is going to report up that they are anything less than 95-99% readiness for equipment.
What is going on is they are throwing readiness numbers for UNITS at people who don't know how the army readiness cycle works. Right now, because of the draw down, units are on a 1/3 or 1/2 cycle (could be longer for some). That's 3 years of build up and training, where you are reporting NOT READY for deployment, and then NTC or JRTC for testing. Pass that, you are deemed READY for 1 year, and are technically on call or on mission.
