Abstract
The process of ensuring a well-trained and ever-ready military force nowadays also involves ensuring that the exercise grounds or sites suffer as little as possible from adverse influences such as noise, pollution and extra hazards — such as unexploded shells.
The fact that adjoining built-up areas, residential areas, villages and towns also suffer from the effects of military exercises is a fact that has to be given serious consideration now that the public views such actives much more critically, and legal rules and regulations are becoming stricter.
All these factors emphasise the necessity of producing ammunition which, after serving its purpose for combat use, can be converted to environmental-friendly practice ammunition.
