Quite a bit, but most are gone now. I know someone who flew C130's and he said the Army and Air Force pretty much cleaned house. All the old dumb bombs, shells, even old torpedo's left over from the war were dropped. Any old explosive you can think off that was stock pilled from WW2 to the end of the Cold War was used. They fitted smart bomb heads and fins to all of them and sent them over to the sand box. He said they were moving crates that hadn't been touched since 1943. They even found a few vintage WW2 torpedo's and someone figured out how to stick a smart bomb head and tail on them, and they dropped them in Iraq. Blew up.
Now they are filling the warehouses with new stuff.
