CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

[Colin Parkinson]

Some items are restricted because of cost and limited availability, to ensure commanders can direct repair priorities.

That I get, but perhaps the requirement to get the unserviceable part back just for control purposes needs to be looked at. That alone requires the old part to be secured by the unit, properly tagged, transported, accepted, recorded by both the unit and the Svc Bat, then stored, then moved back, possible through several layers to a disposal location. Then disposed of and then struck off the record.

Parts can be BLR but not BER, and normally it's not first or second line that makes that call.
