Why The US Army Ammunition Plant MUST SELL Civilian Ammo!
The US Army's Lake City Ammunition Plant must sell civilian ammunition due to contractual obligations with private operators like Winchester and the necessity of maintaining operational capacity. Selling to civilians ensures machinery remains functional, employees are retained, and facilities are prevented from dilapidation, as seen before the Gulf War. This practice is driven by both practical needs for continuous operation and legal requirements to fulfill existing contracts.
