Defense Logistics Agency
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the Department of Defense 's (DODs) main logistics combat support agency, providing global logistics support in both peacetime and wartime to all branches of the military services as well as several civilian agencies and foreign countries. The DLA provides the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, federal agencies, and partner nation armed forces with a full range of logistics, acquisition, and technical services. DLA provides and sources all of the consumable things America 's military forces need to work – from sustenance, energy and fuel to uniforms, medicinal supplies, and construction material. DLA likewise supplies about 90 percent of the military 's extra parts, deals with the reutilization of military hardware, gives inventories and different logistics data items, and offers record automation and production services to a large group of military and government organizations. The Defense Logistics Agency is headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and is a global enterprise. Wherever the United States has a critical military presence, the DLA is there to support their efforts. Since its founding in 1961, DLA has been an integral part of the nation 's military defense.
The origins of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) date back to World War II when America 's huge military buildup required the rapid procurement of vast amounts of munitions and supplies (“History of Defense,” n.d.). After the war, a

These military contractors served some roles in the Revolutionary War and Civil War. However, it was not until World War II when the US greatly increased the extent and role of private military contractors. During this war, private military contractors did not actually do much fighting, but they served a vital role as technical representatives for their corporations at various locations at or near a battlefield. There were some instances where this representative, or private military contractor, would be on front lines “seeking solutions to technical and operational problems regarding equipment supplied by their firm”. From there, the use of private military contractors was greatly expanded, and by the Vietnam War, the Department of Defense had them performing various tasks vital to military operations. These contractors were relegated tasks such as petroleum supply, transportation operations, base operations, and construction projects. The military’s experience with these contractors during the Vietnam War then helped the US army to issue Army Regulation 700-137, which set up the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP). LOGCAP initially preplanned the use of PMCs during wartime to bolster US forces, but the Department of Defense would eventually expand LOGCAP to make private military contractors active in all parts of the military during war
The policy and procedures connected to the DoD definitions of abuse are one of the multiple practices that camouflage prevalence rates. Others include database deficiencies, fatality reviews, oversight framework, chaplain training, commander training, Lautenberg Amendment, and the most egregious the index severity index. All, were deficiencies previously addressed by the Governmental Accountability Office (GAO) in their 2006 and 2010 reports; yet they remain outstanding.
The purpose of the DLIS BIA will be to provide a Business Impact Analysis based on information previously submitted and authorized in the DLIS Risk Analysis (RA) and Risk Mitigation (RM) plan. The BIA will identify CBFs, MAO for each CBF, costs and requirements for each CBF
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has been serving the U.S. armed forces and their dependents for many years. This military exclusive grocery chain is conveniently located on many bases, even having a store right here in Misawa. The Misawa commissary like many other grocery stores, sells various products including a large selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, regional foods, health and beauty supplies, wellness products, pet supplies, and cleaning supplies. Specialty departments at the Misawa commissary include a deli, meat department, fresh sushi, rotisserie, and bakery. All of these products are offered at prices usually equal to or cheaper than their off base counter parts.
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), which is headquartered at Fort Lee, VA., operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries to military personnel, retirees and their families in a safe and secure shopping environment. Authorized patrons purchase items at cost plus a 5-percent surcharge, which covers the costs of building new commissaries and modernizing existing ones. Shoppers save an average of more than 30 percent on their purchases compared to commercial prices - savings that amount to thousands of dollars annually when shopping regularly at a commissary. A core military family support element, and a valued part of military pay and benefits, commissaries contribute to family readiness, enhance the quality of life for America's military and their families, and help recruit and retain the best and brightest men and women to serve their country (Defense Commissary Agency, 2016).
This paper will elaborate the Department of Defense subcontracting plan programs, Acts, and policies that are in effect. Furthermore, will detail the type of subcontracting plans, when they apply, procedures, and routing given by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Following will explain how subcontracting plans are utilized in source selections, the economic impacts subcontracting has on small businesses, and how subcontracting plans are managed.
In a fiscally constrained operating environment and a reduced footprint overseas, the Department of Defense is consistently looking for ways to mitigate challenges associated with rapid global projection. By having multiple means to deliver sustainment to the warfighter, the JMMLV will prevent a single point of failure. The JMMLVs design provides an additional option along with current capabilities that exist to sustain operations and rapidly employ combat power. As Australian Maj Gen Rick Burr, Deputy Commanding General, US Army Pacific highlighted in a 2013 Defense News article concerning logistics, “The potential for anything to happen at any time is very real particularly with natural disasters…being prepared to respond to any crisis that could happen at short notice is clearly the most pressing issue at the moment.” (McLeary 2013) The United States and its ability to respond to a crisis is crucial for success and supporting global responsibilities. The use of the JMMLV offers advantages that will benefit Combatant Commands, the Services, Defense and Federal Agencies, and our coalition partners that routinely provide mutual support to one another to sustain operations.
The Department of Defense is dealing with a different frame of war with distributed operations all over the globe, from disaster relief to deterrence, fighting terrorism to peacekeeping. Delivering fuel via truck over
To ensure that the force of the future will have the capability to meet its demands, combat support agencies within the Department of Defense must have the right people with the right

The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle was not deployed using a rapid acquisition process which delayed fielding of MRAPs and should not be repeated for critical needs. Three primary processes drive the current Department of Defense (DoD) Major Defense Acquisition Programs. They are requirements, acquisition, and funding. The requirements approval process within the existing Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) was the greatest factor in the MRAP delay.

The most common implementations of supply chains throughout the US Army are focused on logistics and ensuring a continual stream of supplies to each base and installation. The periodic nature of supply chain planning for each base is made more challenging due to the need for greater levels of accounting accuracy and more effective approaches to statistical analysis of supply chain performance. These constraints over time have often been factored into the development of linear programming models used for simulating overall supply chain performance (Trainor, Parnell, Kwinn, Brence, 2007). Linear programming concentrates on solving complex supply chain problems including constrained logistics flows across multiple depots, locations and
