OBS

Établissement d'approvisionnement où les stocks de deuxième échelon d'une base ou d'une station sont entreposés ou placés à proximité d'un usager majeur, lorsque les travaux en cours ou l'importance d'une réponse rapide aux besoins rend indispensable une telle mesure. Le matériel conservé par les groupes d'approvisionnement relève de l'officier d'approvisionnement et constitue une partie des actifs de la base ou de la station. Les groupes d'approvisionnement peuvent détenir la totalité des actifs de certaines gammes de matériel conservé à la base ou à la station, par exemple, les pièces de rechange, ou une partie seulement. Ils doivent conserver une quantité et une gamme de matériel leur permettant de répondre aux besoins de leurs usagers.
