So been following the stuff in Ukraine, got me thinking. I have a fair bit of cleaning equipment. I clean thoroughly after every outing. Go through a fair number of patches. And most of my stuff is definitely not built for portability.

How does the military deal with weapons maintenance? What are some good options if one wanted to be able to clean a rifle and pistol in the field. Or just at a training school for a week without lugging a bunch of gear and going through a bunch of patches? What oil and cleaning bottle can one get that wont leak everywhere.
