I have a feeling that the Army ammunition usage cited is across literally every single member of the US army (only a small fraction of which are small-arms toting infantrymen) so it’s distorted by tens of thousands of REMFs, aviation guys, tankers, and other specialists who do very, very little small arms practice.

How many Department of Homeland Security employees need to spend even one round of ammo in their entire career?

Granted, they do Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. Secret Service.

Even given that, how many of these 70,000 are pencil pushers whose biggest threat of being directly confronted with any illegal activity is eating something from Krispy Kreme that has improper nutritional labeling?

And I have a feeling the percentages of non-field types are not that much different for the DHS.

You dont think the DHS is filled to the gills with REMF’s?
