General Discussion

...if you want to be pedantic you could say:

Army Prepositioned Stocks (APS)

Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF)

War Reserves for Allies (WRSA-I)

But makes no difference if the supplies come from there or straight from the US.

A. Supplies ship from US to Iraq

B. Supplies ship from fwd supply base to Iraq, then replacement supplies ship from the US to the fwd supply base to restock.

Either way 7,000+ mile route to Iraq, even further to Afghanistan where everything came by air, we had many daily cargo planes landing at Kandahar Airfield (KAF) when I was there in 2005.
