Artillery needs to have a use by date.
 

I wonder if the military uses RFID chips to track these like your local grocery story uses them to track food and other merchandise?

I would imagine that their inventory methods have improved a bit since 1951....or at least I sincerely hope so ;-)

Nope, because if you can see and RFID your enemy can see it too. He might not be able to read the encrypted data, but e can pinpoint where something is squawking. It is never a good idea to let the other guys artillery know where your ammo dump is.
