My CO was death on this in the 82nd
He had served in Somalia with 10th MT and said they couldn't get mags resupplied to save their lives...literally. So I know his take on it, then too, what about the old scenario of being trapped in a firebase (FOB, whatever...) and needing aerial resupply. Those ammo cans don't come with their own magazines.
Seems like a good policy to me.
