Career logistician emphasizes importance of DLA mission to joint military audience
U.S. Navy veteran and Defense Logistics Agency Distribution J9 chief of deployments and training, Donnie Thompson, instructs more than 20 Army and Navy reservists assigned to DLA Distribution headquarters. “The warfighter relies on logistics for food, weapons systems, fuel, medical supplies and more,” Thompson says. “As America’s combat logistics agency, DLA is responsible for making sure that soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines can focus on his or her job and not have to worry about where the supplies are coming from.”
