US military hits ammunition shortages
WASHINGTON (AFP) -
The United States cannot keep up with military demand for ammunition
which has more than doubled since the war on terrorism and the
invasion of Iraq were launched, according to a Congress watchdog
report.
The report said that the amount of small ammunition needed had
increased from about 730 million rounds a year to nearly 1.8 billion.
For medium calibre ammunition, the rise had gone from 11.7 million
rounds to almost 22 million, said the General Accounting Office.
