However the government keeps on discarding them at regular intervals and adds new and latest vehicles to their fleet. This discarded or used military vehicle gives a great source of income to the general citizens and a large number of people in US base their business on such auctions.

The surplus or deactivated vehicles are procured by such businessmen for reselling at a little higher price and are exported to other countries like Russia and Eastern Bloc.
