Ordnance = all ammunition, explosives, pyro-technics, flares, smoke flares, et. al.

So, when you state that there is/was 600,000 tons of ordnance - they (whoever "they" are) are not referring to explosives specifically.

Regardless, Al Qa Qaa was a high profile site with highly important explosives that could be used for nuclear triggering. Under (essentially) no circumstances would anyone suggest that it would be acceptable to leave this site unguarded.
