What's in the "Strategic Stockpile"?

You would be amazed. Mountains of materials, parts, electronics, and loads
upon loads of machine tools. Not to mention the ordnance. All of it is
assigned a shelf life too. When the life is up they auction much of it off.
This is how unused 30 year old multi spindle screw machines turn up on the
used market from time to time.

A good market for new machines too?
Any idea what's in the stockpile (of machines) now? Where?
