Army Prepositioned Stocks
Army Prepositioned Stocks (APS) are strategic reserves of equipment, supplies, and vehicles stored in secure locations around the world. These stocks are maintained so that the military can quickly mobilize and deploy forces during emergencies, conflicts, or large-scale operations without waiting for supplies to arrive from elsewhere. APS ensures rapid response capabilities, enhances logistical readiness, and reduces deployment time, enabling the Army to effectively support national security objectives. Think of it as a well-stocked emergency kit, but on a national defense scale, ready to be used immediately when needed.
