War Readiness Spares Kit Composition: A Systems Approach.
Abstract
During normal or peacetime operations, materiel is maintained either at or near the location where it will eventually be used. Under certain conditions, however, a unit may be separated from the usual stock flow, as in response to mobility requirements. In responding to various contingencies, a unit is required to maintain a combat ready posture under the limitations of being geographically removed from established supply channels. Since the majority of deployments are in response to some type of contingency plan, support for the movements is provided for through the War Reserve Materiel (WRM) program. Essentially, the program assures support for operating plans through reliance upon materiel that has been accumulated and prepositioned in accordance with prepalnned programs and schedules.
