You also need a hell of a lot of manuals. Perhaps the most interesting one in the Department of Defense library is all about cutting thing in half.
What that means is that alongside endless bureaucratic jargon and dozens of nested volumes and enclosures and appendices, you'll find some fascinating diagrams for chopping up guns and other equipment in a really specific way. Say it's the end of a war and you have a few extra weapons. You don't want or need to maintain a high-security warehouse full of used howitzers, but you can't just sell off a tank to any old schmo.
Even weapons so busted they don't work anymore can't be let out into the world if there's a chance they're even remotely fixable. They need to be utterly destroyed before you let them go. This was the situation the Department of Defense found itself in after World War II, and while destroying weapons of war might be easier than building them, there's a science to it. The most thorough way would be to demolish them completely. Melt them into slag. Atomize them.
But that's primarily the work for scrappers, not the military. The solution? Do as little work as possible to render them utterly useless. This is precisely what the "Defense Demilitarization: Procedural Guidance" manual explains: How to make the smallest series of cuts that intersect and destroy all of a machine's most vital components with minimal effort.
