| FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Officials at Fort Bragg say an investigation is under way into the disappearance of nearly 14,000 rounds of ammunition at the Army base.
Staff Sgt. Joshua Ford, a spokesman for the 82nd Airborne Division, says the ammunition went missing from the 1st Brigade Combat Team at Fort Bragg.
The Fayetteville Observer reports (http://bit.ly/rcSmoA ) that Ford believed the ammunition was taken overnight on Tuesday. The 1st Brigade team was placed on lockdown for a few hours Wednesday night while officials conducted a search.
The missing ammunition can be used in an M-4 or M-16 assault rifle.
Ford says the 82nd Airborne Division and military police are taking the matter seriously and that "any amount of ammunition that goes missing" has "got to be accounted for." | |

| also consider that this is an OPEN base... there is no checkpoint in and out with fences all around like other bases. This is also the base where Jeffrey MacDonald claimed the hippies killed his family, so security measures should have been increased due to that 40 yrs ago! not to mention the obvious that was previously stated. | |

| Looks like they needed to tighten security a little bit. I'm surprised there aren't cameras all over the plae, either. Looks like the theives found an easy target. | |
