Description

The Department of Defense (DOD) manages conventional ammunition that ranges from small arms cartridges to rockets, mortars, artillery shells, and tactical missiles. When a military service determines such ammunition is beyond its needs, obsolete, or unserviceable, it is offered to the other services and if not taken, transferred to the Army, which manages the CAD stockpile and takes actions to demilitarize and dispose of the ammunition in the stockpile. As of February 2015, the stockpile was about 529,373 tons. DOD estimates that from FY 2016 to FY 2020 it will add an additional 582,789 tons of conventional ammunition to this CAD stockpile. This report assesses the extent to which DOD has adequately maintained and shared information on excess, obsolete, and unserviceable ammunition for the military services. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
