What must be added to WRM stock levels if items are in frequent use for indirect support?

To ensure that items frequently used for indirect support are adequately stocked, peacetime stock levels should be added to the War Reserve Materiel (WRM) stock levels. Peacetime stock levels are designed to support routine operations and ensure availability during normal operations. When WRM items are in frequent use, increasing the stock to include these peacetime levels helps maintain operational efficiency and readiness.

This adjustment reflects the demand fluctuations arising from regular usage patterns. It ensures that there are enough materials on hand to meet both standard operations and any potential surge in requirements, effectively bridging the gap between wartime preparations and ongoing operational needs. By calculating based on peacetime stock levels, logistical planners can optimize resource allocation without compromising readiness during heightened activity periods.
