Military Gear Is Reclaimed From Vietnam War
The United States recovered about 4.5 billion dollars in Vietnam era military equipment and shipped 1.8 million tons to depots and bases in the U.S. and abroad. After refurbishment it goes to National Guard and reserve units while excess material and facilities totaling around 1.3 billion dollars were provided to South Vietnamese forces, Thailand, Laos, and South Korean contingents. Scrapped metal totaled over 448,000 tons with sales exceeding 20 million dollars, drawing critics who warn of black market risk and profiteering.
