Defense Logistics Agency
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) defense agency. The DLA Director reports to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics through the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics and Materiel Readiness). DLA provides worldwide logistics support for the missions of the Military Departments and the Unified Combatant Commands under conditions of peace and war. It also provides logistics support to other DoD Components and certain Federal agencies, foreign governments, international organizations, and others as authorized. DLA's origins date back to World War II when America’s huge military buildup required the rapid procurement of vast amounts of munitions and supplies. A major initiative underway is Business Systems Modernization, a project that will replace DLA's mission critical legacy systems with a new enterprise architecture based on COTS software and best commercial practices.
