Assign equipment to an ad hoc task crew to ensure they have the necessary tools to
complete the work order task.

## Before you begin

Note the following requirements to assign the equipment:

* The work order task must already have a task crew assigned. See [Create ad hoc crews in Dispatcher Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/74BAwDYVPoTlZQ0og5_sDA "Create ad hoc crews for a task if no existing crews are available to work on the task or the task requires specific skills to complete the job.") for more information.
* The work order task must already have resource requirements. See [Add resource requirement for a work order task in Dispatcher Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/fjXByZAQMDcySMEQ8V9lNw "Add or update the resource requirements for a work order task that requires crew, such as number of agents with specific skills or types of equipment required to work on the task.") for more information.
