For distances and close measurements, we use metric. Maps are measured in Kilometers, Weapons and ammo in millimeters. Tool boxes are a mixture, as fasteners and parts depend on the supplier as stated earlier. Inches, pounds and gallons are still widely used and there is no plan I know of to replace them. Young soldiers have had less problem adapting to this that the "old guys"! It can be interesting when your map is kilometers and your odometer is miles.
