Default Fuel and ammunition stocks
Does anyone have any information about how much fuel a large mechanised division would use, or what its stocks of ordinance and ammunition would be?

I believe a US Army armoured/mechanised division uses 23,000 litres of fuel a day, but I have no idea what is or any other countries ammo stocks are.

Wouldn't you know, my rabbit ruined my copy of How to Make War, which lists this sort of information.

I keep my copy by my bedside, but have been looking for a digital version as I don't feel like typing it up.

Well all jokes aside would you care to share out some of that information as I'm asking for a legitimate reason. I'm in an on going debate with a couple of Chinese communist on another forum who are under the impression that the PLA is one the march and the West is in terminal decline and some of my sources were eaten by my dogs.

It is pretty self explanatory but let me know if you have any questions

Numbers are tons (US I believe) except for the Lbs rating which is pounds per day per man.

Looking at these numbers I am reminded that we thought the US and Russian numbers might have been flipped. Mine is from the third edition, can anyone confirm these numbers from another edition?
