Yes, just as I said. But ammunition and explosives are closely watched. inventoried and guarded in the military.

Not just as you said.

It only says that they are supplying them, not how, or from where, there is a huge amount of leakage in such things. Here are some quick examples of leakage.

Washington (CNN) — The arrest of a Navy SEAL accused of trying to sell arms smuggled from Iraq or Afghanistan has raised questions about how he managed to get 80 high-powered weapons into the U.S. through military transport-————————

A gang which included US soldiers allegedly offered ‘wet-work’ murder-for-hire services, narcotics trafficking and stolen US military weapons to undercover Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents… posing as foot soldiers for Mexico’s notorious Los Zetas drug cartel.


A soldier with an elite National Guard unit has been arrested and charged with illegally smuggling sophisticated firearms – including assault rifles and pistols – from New York City to China.


Federal air marshal and Army Sgt. 1st Class David Kellerman was planning to take a few items with him on the way home to South Florida from Afghanistan: 11 grenades, a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, about 33 pounds of C-4 plastic explosives, a couple of assault rifles, a shotgun, a machine gun and more.

The high-powered weapons were dismantled and hidden inside various bags and equipment. But U.S. Army inspectors found them before Kellerman left Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.

That search, two months ago, led to additional searches in Broward County — and the discovery of other caches of weapons, according to a federal criminal complaint.


‘Blackwater’ to pay $50M over arms-smuggling, other charges


A Base Borden soldier who was arrested in Alliston in 2012 and charged in a complicated weapons case pleaded guilty to numerous charges on Friday.
The charges included possession of restricted firearms, exporting firearms out of Canada and making prohibited devices.


A former soldier has been jailed for 10 years after smuggling a cache of guns and ammunition from Iraq into the UK in a tank.
