So, buy Economic Order Quantites, like airlines? Well no. Airline operation is at predictable intensity, so a balance can be made: best-value modification status, vs. stock obsolescence which condemns new kit from shelf to scrap.
I remember the time when we trained at a similar tempo to the way we expected to fight.

As ever, training goes down the pan when the cash flow becomes a dribble.
