Ordnance and Supply, also known as OaS, was a part of the command of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and was headed by the Chief of Ordnance and Supply. Ordnance and Supply was charged with securing equipment, weapons, and foodstuffs for the Alliance Forces. Individual Sector Commands were expected to procure their own food and small arms to supply their local forces, leaving Ordnance and Supply free to concentrate their efforts on attaining hard to obtain items necessary for the war effort, such as starfighters, starships, and high-grade fuel, to keep the Alliance Fleet and Alliance Special Forces supplied.
