¿Alguien sabe si existe una frase hecha para este TPE (theater provided equipment)?:

"Most of the equipment used by U.S. troops in Iraq--approximately 80 percent according to DOD officials--is theater provided equipment, which is a pool of permanent stay behind equipment consisting of specific line items of modified table of organization and equipment property, issued Army prepositioned stocks, and items purchased specifically for Operation Iraqi Freedom that remains in Iraq. Although much of this
equipment has remained in Iraq as units rotate in and out, significant amounts will be brought back to the United States if and when there is a decrease in the size of U.S. forces in Iraq. As of March 2008, this pool of theater provided equipment totaled approximately 173,000 major end items such as High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) and Mine Resistant Armor Protected (MRAP) vehicles, worth approximately $16.5 billion. The retrograde process for returning these equipment items to the United States will be a massive and expensive effort."

Equipo "reciclado"

From Wikipedia.

Theater provided equipment means that one unit brought the items with them and left them for the next unit to use so that the government did not have to purchase the same equipment for multiple units. Kind of like a construction company who provides tools for all of the workers to share. Another thing your report does not look at is the historic price of the equipment vs todays market price. The prices have gone up considerably on much of the equipment since the beginning of the war. The prices listed are what it would cost if you had to replace an item
