The U.S. Department of Defense's depot and sustainment activities produces large amounts of hazardous waste each year in the re-furbishment of all types of military equipment. These include but are not limited to tanks, combat ground vehicles, ships, aircraft and their associated armament. Budgets for new materiel acquisition in all the services have dropped substantially since the early 1990s and services are committed to holding on to their existing inventories of equipment. In one example, the Air Force B-52 Bomber will remain in service until the 2030's, extending its life cycle to over 90 years.
