You should have no problems decapping US military brass with any good quality decapping die. You will however, need to remove the crimp from the primer pockets before you will be able to prime those same cases. There are several options for doing that, ranging from simple hand held tools that sell for about $10 or less, up to really high-end motorized devices that sell for hundreds. It's really a question of time and volume. My recommendation for an "average Joe" is to check out the device marketed by Dillon Precision. Sells for about $90.00 last I checked, comes with the parts to do 9mm, .45 ACP, .30 Carbine, 5.56mm .30/06 and 7.62mm. You couldn't wear one out in three lifetimes, it's very simple to operate, and works as fast as you can. Great tool.
