Issues that must be addressed in the plan are— Scheduling of redeployment activities. Personnel accountability. Cleaning of equipment. Transfer of equipment. Ammunition turn-in. Army preposition stock procedures. Security of the force. Availability of theater transportation assets. Availability of strategic lift. J-15.
