Managing missile stocks before they age out

Could stored missiles age out before low peacetime consumption uses them?

Yes, so the proposed reserve programme includes live firing, reconditioning, and sales to allies.

Missiles can age out when peacetime consumption is low, so building a reserve also requires a stock-management programme. Live-fire exercises can consume older rounds while providing training. Reconditioning is another proposed part of maintaining the stock. Sales to allies can also move missiles into use while production replenishes the reserve.
