DLA Aviation deactivates ahead of Weapons Support activation
Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Launey, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation’s final commander, delivers remarks during the July 23 DLA Aviation Deactivation ceremony which also served as his Relinquishment of Command ceremony in the Frank B. Lotts Conference Center on Defense Supply Center Richmond, Virginia. The deactivation of Aviation as a major subordinate command supports the establishment of DLA Weapons Support, which will integrate Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, reinforcing the agencies’ transformative efforts to optimize global logistics for the joint force.
