Cleaning kits for rifles are typically purchased individually from the Post Exchange. Cleaning kits for heavier weapons are part of the unit's MTOE. Each rifle comes with a cleaning kit when it is purchased, but they typically get lost between the time the rifle is first issued to when it passes through many hands, thus facilitating the need for soldiers to purchase cleaning kits.
