59. 所需资源减少的主要原因是：(a) 口粮，因为新的口粮合同费用较低，口粮仓储和运输费用低于预算；(b) 特遣队所属装备：自我维持，主要是因为非索特派团部队派遣国按低于既定的标准部署自我维持能力；(c) 部署、轮调和任满回国旅费，主要原因是，因冠状病毒病相关出行限制，非索特派团军事特遣队 3 654名官兵的轮调推迟；(d) 部队费用，原因是联合王国支助小组人数从 43 人减到 10人。所需经费减少因特遣队所属装备所需经费增加而部分抵消；主要装备，主要是因为主要装备的可用性增加、性能和适用性改善，以及偿还非索特派团部队派遣国在敌对行动中损失的主要装备。
59. The reduced requirements were attributable mainly to: (a) rations, owing to the new lower-cost contract for rations and lower-than-budgeted warehousing and transportation costs for rations; (b) contingent-owned equipment: self-sustainment, owing mainly to the deployment of self-sustainment capabilities by AMISOM troop-contributing countries at lower-than-established standards; (c) travel on emplacement, rotation and repatriation, owing mainly to the postponement of the rotation of 3,654 AMISOM military contingents as a result of travel restrictions related to COVID-19; and (d) troop payments, due to the reduction in the strength of the support team from the United Kingdom from 43 to 10. The reduced requirements were offset in part by increased requirements for contingent-owned equipment: major equipment, owing mainly to the increased availability and improved performance and serviceability of major equipment, and by the reimbursement to an AMISOM troop-contributing country for major equipment lost in hostile action.
