Data-driven reforms speed up surplus equipment turnaround at DLA
from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton
From old uniforms to entire frigates. When the military services have a piece of equipment they no longer need, it heads to the Defense Logistics agency's disposition Services Group. Quite often, DLA is able to find a new home for those items, but the agency is trying to significantly increase how often that happens, including by maintaining digital want lists from the military services so they can keep track of demand signals. Mike Cannon is the director of DLA disposition services. He talked about some of the latest developments on the reutilization front with Federal News Network's Jared Serbu.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
