It is part of the short list under explosives. MPs are typically light on HE.

M67 frag was one or two per team.
AN/M14 -TH3 thermite was one per team.
M8 smoke was 4-8 per team.
M18 colored smoke was 1 of each except Red then we had 4-8 for marking LZs for medevacs.
M18A1 claymores was two per squad
Rocket illum flares was one per team
Rocket signal flare (red) was two per team for signaling medevac.
Team leaders had 3-6 HEDP for their M203, sometimes non lethal sponge rounds.
Shotguns has 00 buck but, were mostly loaded with rubber shot (00s) or birdshot (90s) for clearing civilians away from convoys.
There was one can of 5.56 to top up the TL and driver.
M60s had 10 or more cans of 7.62N
