ARMY UKRAINE ISRAEL SHOW NEWS
The U.S. Army has warehouses packed with weapons its soldiers no longer need. But the service doesn't know where they all are, nor what condition they’re in.
Now, amid increased demand from U.S. allies and partners, Army leaders are pushing for an updated database of those stored weapons.
“Sometimes we don't really know where all of our excess equipment is,” Army Undersecretary Gabe Camarillo said Tuesday at the Association of the U.S. Army annual conference in Washington. “We have a lot of it, and it's accumulated over time.”
Not all of it is needed, and the service is working to rid itself of superfluous weapons and other equipment, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George said.
“We are getting rid of excess equipment starting now,” George said during a luncheon address.
