This paper concerns the problem of deciding the rational spare inventory levels for efficient use of a limited defence budget and, at the same time, for enhancing the operation rate of equipement/weapons in the army. The system we are concerned has a finite number of repairmen at each base and the depot. After repair job has completed, the repaired items are returned to the base where they have originated. For the system, we identify the distribution of the total number of failed items which belong to a base and develope a method to find spare inventory levels of repairable items at each base to satisfy a specified minimum fill rate.
