DOD Has Serious Problems With

Care And Maintenance Of

Conventional Ammunition



Significant problems exist among the mili-
tary services concerning the adequacy with
which conventional ammunition is being
stored, maintained, and renovated. The Army
has a large backlog of ammunition in need of
renovation, the Navy's ammunition account-
ability is inadequate and records often cannot
be relied on to depict the actual quantity and
condition; and the Air Force's use of open
storage at its depots in Europe has caused am-
munition to deteriorate faster than needed
maintenance can be performed.

GAO believes the Department of Defense and
the military services must act immediately to
prevent further degradation of ammunition
stocks.
