Because the mission was outside the normal logistics chain, it required communication and coordination among individuals associated with Army war reserves at AFSC, the Joint Munitions Command, CEG--A, the Army Materiel Command (AMC), and the Marine Corps.
The problem is not that the Army is running out of bullets, but rather that it has too much old ammunition in its war reserves and not enough precision-guided munitions.
The ammunition to be purchased via this contract represents a very small portion of the ammunition needed to outfit the weapons systems and does not include war reserves.
