title = "Stock Positioning and Echelon Structure"

content = """
Stock positioning determines where inventory is held across the supply chain. Iron Bastion
Command uses a multi-echelon structure to balance responsiveness and cost.

**Strategic Level:** National depots and major distribution centers hold bulk stock for
replenishment. Lead times from this level are longer but holding costs per unit are lower
due to economies of scale.

**Operational Level:** Regional or theater distribution points serve multiple units.
Stock here reduces transportation frequency and provides a buffer for surges.

**Tactical Level:** Forward stock and unit supply rooms hold items needed for immediate
mission execution. This level prioritizes availability over efficiency.

**Push vs. Pull:** Push distribution sends stock based on forecasts; pull distribution
responds to actual requests. Most defense supply chains use a hybrid—push for predictable
items, pull for variable demand. Positioning decisions should align with the chosen
strategy.
