There not considered an expendable item. A Unit is required to have so many on hand. Now Day to Day in Garrison, or to an FTX not a big deal. No one is going to need to draw their 7 mag issue. However not every magazine gets turned in after an FTX.
Going to War. The Commander has all his pre-inspections to do and the Armory Officer will have to come up with the required number for a complete issue to a unit.
I have never been in a Unit that couldn't pull together 100% after such a call for magazines; and still NCOs and some smart E4s still came up with extras.
