NATO members commit to keep X amount of stuff in stock and most only keep that amount. With stuff like ration packs that goes out of date the stock is rotated with the old stuff being issued for training and new bought. So they never have a surplus unless NATO agree to release stock.
It also means everything you train with is at the end of its life.
