Defense Logistics Agency

About

As the nation's combat logistics support agency, the Defense Logistics Agency manages the end-to-end global defense supply chain – from raw materials to end user disposition – for the five military services, 11 combatant commands, other federal, state and local agencies and partner and allied nations.

DLA's mission is to "deliver readiness and lethality to the Warfighter Always and support our nation through quality, proactive global logistics." To accomplish this mission, DLA has a staff of about 25,000 employees divided into multiple supply chains that contract for material and services across the military classes of supply, to include: subsistence (food/water), clothing and textiles, bulk petroleum and other energy products, construction material and equipment, personal demand items, medical material and equipment, and repair parts for land, sea and air systems.

DLA Quick Facts:
- DLA procures items from manufacturers and suppliers and provides them to DoD and other federal/state customers, with services such as warehousing, packaging and transportation;
- DLA contracts for items that are shipped directly by the manufacturer to military units and installations;
- DLA disposes of excess military property through reutilization, resale and demilitarization programs.

DLA welcomes participation on all of its social media platforms. See the comment policy and privacy policy for more details on standards and conduct practiced on these platforms: https://www.dla.mil/Public-Affairs/Social-Media

- A comment policy outlining comment removal and moderation, references and non-endorsement, inappropriate reporting and solicitations, trust, and responsiveness.
