Now, let's talk about what "ordnance" means. Imagine you have a toy gun. The bullets you put in it are called "ammunition." But, there are many different types of ammunition for different types of guns. "Ordnance" is a fancy word that means all of the things used to make and use weapons, like guns and ammunition.

The US Army Ordnance Museum is a place where they keep all of the old weapons and ammunition used by the United States Army. You can see all sorts of things like tanks, planes, and guns. They even have weapons used in wars a long time ago, like swords and spears!
