DOD Can Save Millions By Using

Less Expensive Packaging For

Small Arms Training Ammunition


The Department of Defense is paying more
than it needs to for ammunition intended for
small arms training. Such  ammunition,
5.56-mm. and 7.62-mm., is bought in combat
packs and is equipped with items, such as
bandoliers and stripper clips, that are often
discarded during training exercises. Packaging
for small arms training ammunition will cost
more than $39 million during fiscal years
1982 through 1986.

GAO estimates that DOD could reduce these
costs by $33 million by buying ammunition
packaged in less expensive containers and
without items not used in training.
