Loglines’ latest issue spotlights Western Hemisphere and homeland defense

The Defense Logistics Agency is centering homeland defense and the Western Hemisphere in the latest issue of its professional journal, Loglines.

“In today’s contested environment, we face disruption in every domain, and at every level of warfare — even in the homeland,” DLA Director Army Lt. Gen. Mark Simlery said in his director’s message. “This edition of Loglines illustrates how DLA is addressing the challenges facing the homeland and meeting the mission.”

Feature stories spotlight efforts across several DLA organizations, including work by DLA Weapons Support to harden the valve supply chain and by DLA Troop Support to broaden access to drones. The issue outlines policy changes to the Law Enforcement Support Office program aimed at easing how local agencies obtain equipment, and profiles DLA Distribution parachute riggers who sustain aerial delivery readiness. It also details DLA Disposition Services’ role in demilitarizing hundreds of missile silos and DLA Energy’s initiatives to position fuel strategically for military customers.

U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command Commander Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot discusses how his commands rely on DLA to safeguard the Western Hemisphere. The edition also features a conversation with DLA Senior Enlisted Leader Army Command Sgt. Maj. Petra Casarez and debuts a recurring “Get to know an NCO” segment with Air Force Tech. Sgt. Deron Cooke of DLA Troop Support.

The digital issue is available on the DLA website.
