After 30 days, the assets in a high priority mission support kit (HPMSK) should be transferred into the host base's Standard Base Supply System account. This allows for timely replenishment of essential supplies and ensures that the mission can continue without interruption. Transferring the assets after 30 days strikes a balance between ensuring that the kit is readily available for immediate use and preventing unnecessary delays in restocking the kit.
