DLA Troop Support fortifies the homeland defense mission

PHILADELPHIA — The territorial integrity of the United States rests on a basis of homeland defense. It’s the founding mission of the Department of War and is fortified by the logistical engine of Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support. Today, this commitment is demonstrated across the Western Hemisphere Command, the Theatre Army for U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Southern Command. With thousands of service members now focused on regional defense, this sweeping initiative projects absolute American strength and deters malign actors through an overwhelming physical presence. By aggressively targeting illicit activities, warfighters, federal law enforcement and DLA Troop Support logisticians are sending an undeniable, unified message: the Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood, and it will never be a permissive environment for transnational threats.
