Who is responsible for costs associated with war reserve materiel (WRM) reconstitution after direct mission support use?

The responsibility for costs associated with war reserve materiel (WRM) reconstitution after direct mission support use falls on the storing command. This is due to the role of the storing command in managing and overseeing the inventory and maintenance of WRM. The storing command is tasked with ensuring that materiel is available and in the proper condition to meet operational readiness requirements.

In this context, the reconstitution of WRM involves replenishing and restoring the stock to a usable state after it has been utilized for mission support. This responsibility typically includes budgeting for reprocurement and maintenance efforts, which directly correlates with the storing command's functions.

While the other entities mentioned, like the using unit, logistics support team, and installation headquarters, play significant roles in overall logistics and mission execution, their responsibilities do not extend to financial management of WRM reconstitution. The using unit primarily focuses on the operational aspect of utilizing WRM, while the logistics support team assists in logistical coordination and support. The installation headquarters usually has broader oversight responsibilities and does not manage specific WRM reconstitution costs. Thus, the storing command is the entity primarily accountable for these expenses.
