weapons caches

Secret munitions stores

Weapons caches are hidden stockpiles of arms and ammunition, typically stored for future use by military forces, insurgents, or criminals.

The term appears frequently in news about conflicts and law enforcement operations: Authorities discovered a weapons cache in the abandoned warehouse.

A single stockpile is a weapons cache; multiple stockpiles are weapons caches.
