residue turn in, aka dunnage. ie spent casing, howitzer shells, ammo cans and boxes, motor tubes, anything left over after an ordinace is used. Much of the brass is accounted for, counted or weighed before we can clear any of our ammunition documents for the asp(ammo supply point)

some days we'll turn in up to 1200 105mm casings and 110 or so ammo cans that hold the fuses. the metal gets sold to private companies that either melt them down for scrap or sell them.
