Which entity maintains ownership of supply point assets until they are used?

The logistics readiness squadron (LRS) is responsible for the ownership and management of supply point assets until those assets are utilized. This includes oversight of inventory storage, distribution, and ensuring that supplies are maintained until they are issued for use. LRS plays a critical role in the maintenance of supply chain efficiency, ensuring that assets are readily available when needed while also managing the overall lifecycle and accountability of those assets.

In contrast, other entities such as supply chain management focus more on the broader aspects of procurement and demand forecasting rather than direct ownership of supply point assets. The base operations center typically oversees overall base operations and does not directly manage supply assets. Similarly, the materiel management office is involved in policy and procedures related to material management but does not maintain ownership of the assets in the same way as the LRS does. Therefore, the logistics readiness squadron is the correct entity for maintaining ownership of supply point assets until they are used.
