Change in Sustainment Is Imminent, DLA Director Says
June 11, 2024 | By Beth Reece , Defense Logistics Agency |
The military services are undergoing an intense transformation that requires the Defense Logistics Agency and industry to think, act and operate differently, DLA's director told leaders of 14 industry associations at a meeting last week.

"Every service, every combatant command, and every regional command is reevaluating themselves — their equipment, warfighting concepts, organizational structure, etc. — and how they intend to accomplish wartime objectives," Army Lt. Gen. Mark Simerly said in his first meeting of DLA Industry Association leaders at DLA headquarters.
The semiannual meeting allows the agency to build a shared understanding of current challenges and develop strategies to meet them with supply partners in industry associations, like the Aerospace Industries Association, National Institutes for the Blind, and Professional Services Council.
The changing nature of war and threats from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are driving the need for transformation across the Defense Department, Simerly said.
