#2 This doesn't make much sense to me. That's a lot of equipment to be sitting around unused in bunkers (do the Norks have that much extra equipment?). Besides, if the soldiers are unequiped before reaching the bunkers that would mean that they are also unequiped in case of being attacked. Either this isn't the whole story or this guy is spinning a yarn.

#3 One might indeed have depots of equipment that you marry up to the soldiers. Other militaries do that in different ways. Heck, we have a National Guard depot nearby; it's not like the soldiers keep their Hummvees at home.

But someone has to maintain the depots, rotate the equipment, etc.
