> 60,000 rounds of rifle or pistol ammunition is not much.

Military equiment being lost is a regular occurrence?

Lost could just mean expended in training but with slightly poor recording keeping that added up over time.

Anyone who has served in the Armed Forces knows how strict range security is. This couldn't be the case.

Germany spends half a trillion dollars per decade on its military. It would not be surprising if $20k of ammo vanishes for any number of reasons (theft, misplaced, miscounted).
