DEMIL in Phase VI is intended to achieve which outcome?

DEMIL is about rendering unneeded munitions unusable and safe to dispose of. In Phase VI, the goal is proper disposal or conversion of those munitions into non-functional material, so they cannot be used or easily salvaged. This protects people and the environment, meets safety and regulatory requirements, and turns surplus or obsolete items into inert scrap when appropriate. Sorting by chemical composition isn’t about making items non-functional, relabeling for storage keeps items usable and in inventory, and increasing the stockpile runs contrary to the purpose of demil.
