The United States has maintained a stockpile of strategic and
critical materials, primarily ores and minerals, since 1939. Since
the end of the Cold War, the United States government has
determined that most of the materials in the National Defense
Stockpile (NDS) were excess to defense, industrial, and essential
civilian needs, and has begun selling and otherwise disposing of
most of the stockpiled materials. Recent concerns regarding the
global availability of materials have caused a reexamination of the
need for a stockpile and how the NDS might operate in order to
serve the defense, industrial and essential civilian needs for
materials.
