As the nation’s combat logistics support agency, the Defense Logistics Agency manages the global supply chain – from raw materials to end user to disposition – for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, 10 combatant commands, other federal agencies, and partner and allied nations. DLA sources and provides nearly all the consumable items America’s military forces need to operate, from food, fuel and energy to uniforms, medical supplies and construction material.
DLA also supplies 86 percent of the military’s spare parts and nearly 100 percent of fuel, manages the reutilization of military equipment, provides catalogs and other logistics information products, and offers document automation and production services to a host of military and federal agencies.
Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, DLA is a global enterprise – wherever the Nation has a significant military presence, DLA is there to support.
DLA’s major responsibilities are to (1) buy or contract, (2) warehouse when needed, and (3) distribute about 5 million distinct consumable, expendable and reparable items.
DLA acquires items from manufacturers and suppliers that it then provides to DoD and other federal and regional customers, often with supplementary services such as warehousing, packaging and transportation.
DLA also contracts for items that are provided directly by the manufacturer to DLA customers.

DLA Aviation plays a pivotal role in supporting our soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen, and other customers by providing targeted solutions and full-spectrum logistics support.
Initiatives:
– Retail industrial support: As a result of BRAC 2005, industrial support is the integration of wholesale storage and distribution with consumer level (retail) supply processes and inventory along with the associated core processes of planning. We have partnered with the military services to continue integrating retail supply capabilities at collocated industrial sites, i.e., Air Logistics Centers and the Fleet Readiness Centers. In 2017 DLA Aviation published an updated version of the DLA Retail Supply Manual that governs DLA’s retail supply support for Air Force Service depot maintenance. In 2017 DLA Aviation also published the first-ever Retail Supply Manual for Navy depot maintenance.
– Operational customer support: Operational warfighting customers and associated support units. This initiative seeks to improve collaboration with customers at all levels. It also seeks to achieve 85% fill rate in PACAF and sustain that performance throughout FY17. Aviation will also improve support to USMC weapon systems, re-examine forward stocking for critical weapon systems and eliminate DLA issues in supporting the F/A-18 airframe.
– DLR procurement: As a result of BRAC 2005, DLA took on responsibility for procurement of service managed depot level reparables. Our goal is to provide efficient and effective DLR procurement services in support of our Service customers' goals and objectives.
– Improve Nuclear Enterprise support. Focus on Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, bomber, Nuclear Command Control and Communications product support strategies and demand planning.
– Increase material availability and throughput. Improve long term contract coverage to increase LTC delivery orders as a percent of total orders. Identify an appropriate Time to Award for Aviation Supply Chain; achieve/sustain goals. Execute Continuous Process Improvement projects on processes within Aviation’s gated procurement process.
– Deliver effective and affordable solutions. Award 3-5 contracts with ACAT and/or sole source original equipment manufacturers with performance-based logistics-like features. Deliver on Air Force Integrated Prime Vendor Generation III requirement and ensure a successful transition.
– Improve strategic contract performance. Execute FY17 Strategic Sourcing Plan. Optimize acquisition for end-to-end logistics support. Maximize the use of appropriate acquisition strategic and sourcing tools. Transition from tactical to strategic buying. Target NIINs for LTC/automation with the most return on investment and value to the customer. Buy smart!
– Leverage diversity. Develop a diversity and inclusion plan that identifies specific actions that address the under-representation of targeted groups. Promote diversity and inclusion through formal training, education, and corporate messaging. Increase leadership and employee participation in Special Emphasis Program activities and observances.
– Fortify workforce resiliency. Promote resiliency through formal training, education, and corporate messaging. Increase workplace safety.
– Develop leader and workforce competencies. Achieve 100% completion of mandatory Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act certification. Promote participation in leadership forums, employee forums, job rotations, the Flash Mentoring Program, the Job Shadowing Program, and the Aviation Executive Mentoring Program as key competency-building and succession management enablers.

A Global Footprint
38 distribution locations in 20 states and seven countries, including:
Distribution centers
Consolidation and containerization points
Theater consolidation and shipping points
Materiel processing centers
Recruit training centers
Meals ready to eat storage sites
DLA Distribution employs almost 10,000 people and has 38 locations worldwide. Those locations include distribution centers, an expeditionary team that serves as a mobile distribution center, consolidation and containerization points, theater consolidation and shipping points, materiel processing centers, recruit training centers and meals ready to eat storage sites.
DLA Distribution supply centers manage materiel and offer services including storage, distribution, custom kitting, specialized packaging as well as transportation support and technology development—all aimed at increasing warfighter readiness. The centers and sites have more than 2 million item numbers in stock worth more than $100 billion.
In fiscal year 2016, DLA Distribution shipped almost 11,000 containers and more than 9,000 air pallets.
To ease the delivery of materiel and prevent breaking down and building up of pallets, DLA Distribution uses a “pure pallet” concept, which simplifies and speeds up airlift shipments to the customer. It involves building and shipping individual aircraft pallets with cargo for a specific customer, unlike mixed pallets, where a customer's cargo is normally loaded onto an aircraft pallet with cargo for other customers within the same region.

Excess items also support disaster relief, humanitarian missions, foreign military sales, and homeless veterans programs operated by VA medical centers.
Under special programs, schools across the country can acquire excess computers and other IT technology for free. Working with the U.S. Forest Service, Disposition Services provides free vehicles and equipment to firefighters. The congressionally established Law Enforcement Support Office program provides certain types of equipment to law enforcement agencies when approved by their states and local governing authorities.
Some excess items are sold to the public after all eligible recipients have passed on them. The sales revenue helps offset the overall cost of military logistics.

To provide direct operational support, it also maintains a contingency response capability using trained and tested teams of civilians and military personnel. Their mission is to provide property disposal under austere conditions using prepositioned equipment sets.
The activity also helps military units achieve environmental stewardship by taking care of their hazardous waste. Under the oversight of DLA environmental specialists, qualified and licensed contractors pick up the hazardous waste from military bases and transport and dispose of it in a compliant manner.

In time of crisis, our government will do everything it can to respond and support our citizens.  During the summer of 2017, three hurricanes pounded Houston, south east Florida, and the hardest hit was Puerto Rico.  
As FEMA conducted its assessment and called upon DoD to respond, NORTHCOM took on its role to support military efforts in the U.S.  Through NORTHCOM, DLA supported requests from state and national authorities to provide all kinds of resources desperately needed in the immediate aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
From personnel to petroleum, meals to medical supplies, contracting to communications —the Defense Logistics Agency was there. The slide depicts our total support as of 20 Dec 2017.
The numbers are staggering and depict the dedicated effort of DLA’s people working hard to help their fellow Americans.
