DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) Operating Status

Due to inclement weather, Defense Supply Center Richmond is CLOSED Monday, March 16, 2026.

• Emergency-essential on-site employees are expected to remain on duty or report for work on time, unless otherwise directed; consult with your supervisor for confirmation or questions.
• Telework-ready employees at their telework site must telework the entire workday, take appropriate leave or a combination of both.
• Non-emergency, non-telework participating employees will be granted weather and safety leave for the number of hours in their workday.

Employees on pre-approved leave will generally remain on leave if the office at which the employee works is closed. However, if the employee is scheduled to use sick leave for a medical appointment and that medical appointment is cancelled, the legal basis for the sick leave has been eliminated and the sick leave must be cancelled. In addition, if a telework-ready employee has scheduled annual leave, that leave may be cancelled if the employee is ready, willing, and able to telework and agrees to perform telework in lieu of the scheduled leave. Also, employees on official travel, on leave without pay, or on an AWS day off remain in that status.

For questions pertaining to telework during emergencies, including inclement weather, consult your supervisor.

Defense Supply Center Richmond, Virginia, is OPEN for normal operations Thursday, Jan. 29.

Unscheduled leave and telework are authorized for DLA personnel.

For DLA employees reporting to work at DSCR on Jan. 29, the following guidance applies:

DSCR will open for normal operations Jan. 29 with the option for unscheduled leave or unscheduled telework.

• Telework-ready employees (either scheduled or unscheduled) may choose to report to the official worksite, perform unscheduled telework, take unscheduled leave, or a combination of both.
• Telework-ready employees are expected to begin teleworking on time or request unscheduled leave, or a combination of both.
• Non-emergency employees  must report to work or notify their supervisors of their intent to either take unscheduled leave or perform unscheduled telework or some combination.
