prepositioning
Strategic forward deployment
Prepositioning is placing equipment, supplies, or military assets in strategic locations before they're needed, so they're ready when a crisis arises: The military relies on prepositioning stocks in allied countries.
The term appears most often in logistics and defense contexts, where having materials already in place can save critical time during emergencies or deployments.
