The Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) plays a crucial role in material management by being primarily responsible for processing shipments and transfers. This encompasses the entire lifecycle of materials, from their arrival at a facility to their distribution and eventual transfer to other units or storage locations. The LRS ensures that all logistical needs are met efficiently, facilitating timely deliveries and maintaining inventory accuracy.

In processing shipments and transfers, the LRS coordinates movement of supplies and equipment, manages transport resources, and ensures compliance with regulations and requirements for handling materials. This aspect of material management is vital for operational readiness and supports mission objectives by ensuring that the right materials are available at the right place and time.

While conducting audits of suppliers, overseeing system audits, and managing product returns are relevant activities within the larger framework of logistics and procurement, they are not the primary focus of the LRS in terms of material management responsibilities. The LRS is more directly involved in the hands-on logistical operations that pertain to the movement and availability of materials.
