Show HILLTOP TIMES 'TIMES 13 July 22, 2010 1 DSCR organization now known as DLA Aviation Defense Logistics Agency Aviation R ICHMOND, Va. — Defense Logistics Agency's aviation demand and supply chain manager, known for years by the same name as its home installation — Defense Supply Center Richmond — is being renamed "DLA Aviation." DSCR will still be the name of the physical installation that is home to DLA Aviation and 1,860 members of its work force in Richmond. Another 1,800 DLA Aviation employees working alongside warfighters at military sites across the nation are similarly affected by the change. The new name is part of an agency-wide initiative announced yesterday by DLA Director Navy Vice Adm. Alan Thompson called "We Are DLA." It is designed to create a single-agency environment that allows customers, suppliers and stakeholders to know the full scope of agency capabilities and build a greater sense of community among its 26,000-member global work force.

In addition to the newer SS&D and DLR organizations, DLA Aviation maintains a sizeable portion of its Supplier Operations Directorate in Philadelphia, operates the federal government's only industrial plant equipment facility in Mechanicsburg, Pa., and has personnel based at military locations nationwide. As the Department of Defense's combat logistics support agency, DLA provides the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, other federal agencies, and joint and allied forces with a variety of logistics, acquisition and technical services. The agency sources and provides nearly 100 percent of the consumable items America's military forces need to operate, from food, fuel and energy, to uniforms, medical supplies, and construction and barrier equipment. DLA also supplies more than 80 percent of the military's spare parts. The accompanying table lists the former and new DLA organizational names.
