supply depot

Military storage facility

A supply depot is a storage and distribution point for materials, equipment, or provisions—most often in military contexts where it serves as a hub for ammunition, food, fuel, and gear.

The term also applies to civilian logistics: The humanitarian organization established supply depots throughout the region.

Depot emphasizes the facility's role as a waystation rather than final destination.
