One question that often comes up from those unfamiliar with military ammunition logistics is—the cost. The question is usually framed with how much money can be used for training at the range? Especially now that ammunition prices are high for an average box of 9mm or 5.56mm, where I personally spend anywhere from $15 to $26 per box depending on the type and brand. The same principle does not apply to United States military units that have to train at ranges just as any one of us that practice firing to keep up with our personal defense skills. Funding priorities for ammunition used by Army units fall under the Department of Defense (DoD) budget to maintain a high state of military readiness and ground force strength.
