Ammunition Shortage in Korea Denied by Army
The Army declared ammunition is plentiful in Korea though front lines receive rations for grenades and some cartridges. A Far East Command communique, released after Gen. Collins testified, says rationing saves money and preserves reserves, contradicting claims of a shortage while noting front-line supply remains adequate. It adds front-line units still fire more daily than enemy forces.
