Warfighter support is what we do, and we have several stories that illustrate recent examples. DLA Aviation’s story highlights improvements in support to the nuclear enterprise. A DLA Distribution article describes how military personnel test, maintain, pack and ship parachutes and related aerial materials to troops in the field. And a DLA Disposition article describes processes for reducing worn-out materials to scrap for auction and eventual recycling. Two articles in this issue detail DLA’s amazing work in support of our strong partnerships. Following the destruction to the power grid in Puerto Rico caused by Hurricane Maria, DLA Troop Support partnered with the Army Corps of Engineers to deliver more than 33 million items in support of power grid restoration, including power poles, transformers and conductors. On another front, DLA Distribution expedited purchase and shipment of nearly 300,000 uniforms to Iraq Security Forces in partnership with the Army Security Assistance Command, a great success story for Distribution’s Unit Materiel Fielding Point team.
