Officials investigate missing ammo at Fort Bragg. Anyone else wonder how the heck you misplace or have this much ammunition moved without anyone noticing it’s movement on a military installation?
Officials at Fort Bragg say an investigation is under way into the disappearance of nearly 14,000 rounds of ammunition at the Army base.
Staff Sgt. Joshua Ford, a spokesman for the 82nd Airborne Division, says the ammunition went missing from the 1st Brigade Combat Team at Fort Bragg.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Ford believed the ammunition was taken overnight on Tuesday. The 1st Brigade team was placed on lockdown for a few hours Wednesday night while officials conducted a search.
The missing ammunition can be used in an M-4 or M-16 assault rifle.
Either a colossal mistake or a malicious outcome, neither of which is funny in the least. Sheer boobery.

I hope they weren’t going to sell it to someone.

Sold or given to the Mexican drug cartels.

Sorry, McN. I didn’t mean to be an alarmist, but everything about this “administration,” aka usurpation, is scary.
