I once worked at ....... and (very old IBM system) to order parts,
if you needed ONE, you had to type something like 0000001.
Somebody forgot the leading zeros and next day a truck full of those
parts arrived.... :-)

By manipulating for example fuel supplies, or essential [spare] parts, even
ammunition, on such a system as you describe, you can hit a potential
enemy in a bad way, even as a prelude to an attack make that enemy totally
powerless.
It may not be top secret in the sense Bush payed Osama, but may have REAL
implications for the security of a country.

Man this was a submarine base, just change some part number and they will
only find out in the mission the wrong spare parts are in the boxes...
Very tricky, hard to detect. Give them fake (exercise) ammo....
