Defense Logistics Agency

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is a crucial part of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for managing the supply chain for military operations. It ensures that the armed forces have the necessary supplies—like food, fuel, equipment, and medical supplies—whenever and wherever they need them. The DLA coordinates procurement, transportation, and inventory management to support military readiness and effectiveness. By streamlining logistics, it helps maintain the operational capabilities of the military while also providing support during humanitarian missions and disaster relief efforts.
