Identification Of War Reserve Stock

Hundreds of thousands of items of military equipment and repair parts, valued in excess of $13 billion are stocked by the military services and the Defense Supply Agency as war reserves. The items selected as war reserves are determined by each military service subject to selection criteria provided by a Department of Defense directive. This study examines the selection criteria and methods for computing war reserve requirements. It identifies a number of problem areas resulting from the application of current criterion and computational methods. The study results in two principal recommendations.

What is War Reserve Stock A war reserve stock (WRS) or pre-positioned stocks (PPS) is a collection of warfighting equipment that is kept in reserve in pre-positioned storage for the purpose of being utilized in the event that it is required during a period of war. They might be placed in a strategic location, depending on the area where it is anticipated that they would be required. During times of conflict, a war reserve stock may contain raw commodities in addition to military equipment. These materials could become scarce if the war continues. Storage facilities, such as the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, have the potential to be classified as a war stock, according to this criteria.

Since 1939, the U.S. government, using the National Defense Stockpile (NDS), has been stockpiling critical strategic materials for national defense. The economic and national security environments, however, have changed significantly from the time the NDS was created. Current threats are more varied, production and processing of key materials is more globally dispersed, the global competition for raw materials is increasing, the U.S. military is more dependent on civilian industry, and industry depends far more on just-in-time inventory control. To help determine the significance of these changes for the strategic materials stockpile, the Department of Defense asked the NRC to assess the continuing need for and value of the NDS. This report begins with the historical context of the NDS. It then presents a discussion of raw-materials and minerals supply, an examination of changing defense planning and materials needs, an analysis of modern tools used to manage materials supply chains, and an assessment of current operational practices of the NDS.
