"Use the Department of Defense’s acquisition of firearms to further firearm and public safety practices. The Department of Defense buys a large number of firearms and other weapons to protect and serve our country. The President is directing the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement principles to further firearm and public safety practices through Department of Defense acquisition of firearms, consistent with applicable law."
Not entirely sure but I think this has to do with a large number of military firearms that have gone missing in the past 30 or so years. Read about a few weapon warehouses in Kuwait (a way station for service members traveling between Europe/USA and the Middle East) being completely empty. Dated article below.

But...like you said I don't see how this plays into US civilian problems. I don't know of any high profile incident where a stolen US military firearm was used in a mass shooting.
