  (MOD). The responsibilities of the Chief of Logistics are the same during war
  and peace. These responsibilities include
  • Procuring of personnel, materiel, and services required by the military.
  • Preparing the economy and the people to provide sustained support in
  case of war.
  • Ensuring that an uninterrupted flow of personnel, materiel, and equip-
  ment reaches the individual fighting unit at the proper place and time.
  12-4. Organizations within the national-level military logistics establishment
  include materiel support and maintenance units, as well as mobilized civilian
  resources, to include medical personnel and facilities. Some national-level
  logistics units may be allocated to subordinate commands to augment the
  units forming their logistics bases, while the remaining units are centralized
  under General Staff control.
  LOGISTICS STOCKPILES
  12-5. In preparation for war, the State’s national security strategy includes
  plans for stockpiling war materials, as well as critical civilian supplies and
  materials, throughout the country. The logistics storage of war materials
  consists of four major categories: national, strategic, mobilization, and mobile
  reserves.
  National and Strategic Reserves
  12-6. Government warehouses store national-level reserves consisting of
  foodstuffs, petroleum products, manufactured goods, and strategic raw
  materials. While these stocks are separate from the military items held in
  strategic reserve, the military will likely use part of these stocks.
  12-7. Strategic reserves are stocks of supplies and equipment controlled by
  the General Staff. These stocks are similar to stocks in national reserves and
  are not planned for early use in a conflict.
  Mobilization Reserves
  12-8. The OPFOR holds mobilization reserves for issue to newly activated, large
  military units and for resupply to combat units in the early stages of a conflict.
  The Organization and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff determines
  the level and configuration of these stocks. That directorate also is responsible
  for accountability and maintenance. If the administrative force structure
  includes military districts or regions, these geographic commands can coordinate
  mobilization measures between military and civilian sectors. Mobilizing reserve
  and militia units are generally dependent on stockpiled supplies.
  Mobile Reserves
  12-9. Deployed ground units hold and transport mobile logistics reserves
  consisting of ammunition, fuel, rations, and equipment. Ground forces maintain
  these supplies for use in the conduct of ground operations and distribute them to
  both tactical and support units. Published planning factors establish quantities
  of these supplies. Each OPFOR unit maintains an emergency reserve of supplies,
  and only the unit commander can order the use of these supplies.
