What action should a unit take if an item of WRM is frequently used for indirect mission support?

When an item of War Readiness Material (WRM) is frequently used for indirect mission support, the appropriate action is to add or increase the item’s peacetime stock levels. This decision is rooted in ensuring that the unit maintains a sufficient availability of essential items to support both direct and indirect missions effectively.

If an item is being used often, it indicates high demand and a critical need for that resource to be readily available, ensuring that operations can proceed without delays caused by shortages. By increasing the peacetime stock levels, the unit proactively addresses potential shortages and supports operational readiness.

Maintaining adequate stock levels is vital for mission success, particularly in dynamic operational environments where the unpredictability of resource needs can arise frequently. Therefore, increasing stock levels in this context reflects a strategic move to bolster the unit’s capability to support mission requirements efficiently.
