Which brings up a related issue ... where the heck does the US store all that ammo?
Presumably several places. But where?
Likewise, anyone know for other countries?
I imagine this is not exactly secret info, just not widely publicised or disseminated,

Google Earth places like Sierra Army Depot, Seneca Army Depot, Umatilla Army Depot, Tooele Army Depot........... and just search Army Depot or Army Ammunition plant.
Miles of concrete bunkers called "Igloos"........ Sensitive items are protected by an alarm system that goes back to a guard complex with a reaction force, loud klaxon alarm, rotating red or amber beacon, and sometimes a very large CS dispenser that saturates the bunker.
An Army Post has its own ammunition bunkers these are divided up the Ammunition Supply Point to units in training versus units to deploy.
Any Unit is supposed to have enough munitions for three days of continous ops without resupply. Then they get another 3 day logpack or "Push".
