-PICATINNY's EXPERIMENTAL SQUAD WEAPON CLEANING KIT: 'A new squad weapons
maintenance kit, recently developed.... at Picatinny Arsenal, is the Army's latest initiative in supplying
soldiers with enough tools to keep their weapons clean ....Each...kit contains more than a dozen items,
including an air can for blowing out dust, a rifle cleaner that works much the same way as dental floss,
and protective caps for.... the rifle barrel. The kits contain a 4-ounce.... bottle that may be used as a spray
dispenser for weapons lubricants.... There also are.... disposable bags for keeping.... magazines dirt- and
dust-free... There is a reusable cloth for wiping down internal and external surfaces of the weapon to
clean off dirt and to help prevent rust and corrosion.... ' (Rob Jennings, in the Daily Record, Parsippany,
