Types of Army Surplus Gear

Army surplus stores have an amazing assortment of supplies. Most consumers are unaware of the wide variety of goods and supplies available at the retail establishments. Military gear also comes up for auction in sales sponsored by the government and online.

In general

Retail stores have the biggest assortment and the most widely known. While they advertise as Army surplus, in reality, the surplus comes from every branch of the military. The stock is replenished frequently, so there is always something new. Visit the brick and mortar stores early in the day to get the best selection.

Vehicles

All kinds of military surplus goods are available for purchase, including vehicles. Most are sold at surplus auctions held infrequently around the United States. The auctions are not always well advertised, so check with the Department of Defense to see who is authorized to sell surplus vehicles in your area. Government Liquidation LLC is a well known company in military surplus.

Clothing

Military clothing is sturdy and functional. Camouflage is very popular, and have even enjoyed a style boost from inspired fashion designers.  Hunters, campers and military enthusiasts are fans.

Equipment and tools

Military surplus often includes survival and camping gear. Small survival kits with matches, handsaws, emergency rations, tarps, sleeping bags and water purification tablets are just a few items available. Savvy shoppers can even find medical tools like X-ray machines and bedside monitors. Anything the military might use can be found at surplus prices.
