Other equipment, such as tents, cable, kitchen equipment, scrap metal, and aluminum, was also sold. This material was heavily covered with sand. In addition, empty ammunition boxes and demilitarized brass casings were sold. Phase III of Operation *Desert Auction is scheduled for November 1992. This phase is to be the final effort to sell the remaining excess property, which consists primarily of vehicle scrap and condemned ammunition containers.
