The decision to fit and train with anti-aircraft weapons is separate from whether ammunition survives storage, transport, heat, and humidity. Belts that fall apart indicate a specification or supply-chain failure even when the weapon and crew doctrine are otherwise sound. Correctly assigning the cause matters because an after-action review must fix the responsible system rather than merely condemn the gun.
