You bet. There’s two other details that may be of value. First, the CEG-E history mentions that a “dual fielding” concept was used during the 80s to ensure equipment compatibility in POMCUS. This effectively meant every Unjt Set Fielding of a CONUS REFORGER unit triggers an accompanying USF in the appropriate European site. This was acknowledged as costly, and curtailed to generic sets in the post cold era while some POMCUS equipment was issued out to bring the force to a more or less common standard (M1/Brad, etc) or equipment was put on prepo afloat. Second, ammo and pyrotechnics, including aviation ordnance and countermeasures was not stored at the POMCUS sites. Instead, they were maintained in Corps Ammo Supply Points. The III Corps site at Coevorden is probably the best known. Part of the prep sequence for REFORGER involved tasking/coordinating and sequencing logistics and property units early in force flow to prepare for ammo upload.
Units would likely fly with home station force protection ammo for small arms (TAT), but host nations planned extensively to secure REFORGER and UK reinforcing units in the COMMZ until they were prepared for combat.
