a) Start Status: 38.126 t
b)Surplus of AMMO = destruction+ sale+ donation
15.768 t = 12.522 t + 2.643 t + 603 t
Rest (a - b) = 22.358 t
Current Status = perspective + surplus
22.358 t =
7.500 t + 14.858 t
Surplus of AMMO is 14.858 t

Current situation
The situation after the establishment of the Armed Forces B&H :

Large amounts of surplus ammunition and arms

Large number of ASS

Insufficient number of professional personnel engaged in

the management of stocks of ammunition and weapons

The lack of a unified and well-developed system of training

and education in this field big progress (established ammo

3. Trainings and education

Basic needs of the Armed Forces :

Necessary substantial number of trained personnel,

especially ammunition specialist

Still the majority of personnel managing the ASS

would be made redundant

To improve systematic way of training of large

number of personnel

Establish of permanent ASS personal structure
