Director's Intent

On behalf of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 DLA Annual Report. Detailing the first year under the DLA Strategic Plan 2025-2030 – “DLA Transforms: A Call to Action” – this report showcases our efforts to build resilience, accelerate digital transformation, and posture the Agency for a Contested Logistics environment. In this report you will find FY25 Agency accomplishments, key financial and acquisition metrics, robust support to the Military Services and Combatant Commands (CCMDs), and our operational path forward for FY26 and beyond.

In FY25, DLA’s workforce made major strides to prepare the Agency for a contested environment
alongside the Services and CCMDs, aligning our operations, workforce, and infrastructure to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving threat landscape. We advanced the DLA Strategic Plan by strengthening and leveraging the Defense Industrial Base across all nine supply chains. A commercial price benchmarking analysis ensured our material support for the Services
remains in line with or better than commercial. We laid the foundation for integrated Supply Chain Strategies that will drive readiness and responsiveness in FY26.

Through our ‘Digital First’ initiative, we continued to reshape the Agency’s core processes, data systems, and critical decision-making tools to operate at the speed of relevance. Through the Global Resilience Initiative, we are prepared to strengthen our ability to anticipate, absorb, and adapt to disruptions ensuring continuity of support to the Warfighter under any conditions. Finally, DLA received an unmodified audit opinion on the FY24 National Defense Stockpile Transaction Fund, affirming our sound financial stewardship and the strong management of strategic materials vital to national security.

DLA’s global footprint, spanning six Major Subordinate Commands, three Regional Commands, and personnel nationwide and in more than 25 countries, remains a strategic advantage. But our true strength lies in our partnerships. In FY25, we deepened collaboration across the Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt), enabling $55.4 billion in obligations and $51.8 billion in revenue, and delivering critical materiel and services to Warfighters at the point of need. Together with our industry partners and an agile, resilient industrial base, we are building the logistics enterprise our Nation requires. The year ahead will demand even more of us. DLA is ready. Guided by our strategy, empowered byour people, and united in purpose, we will continue to transform, innovate, and deliver. As the Nation’s Logistics Combat Support Agency, serving America’s Warfighters remains our highest priority.

Built to Change, to Last, and to Support Combat

DLA's mission, vision, and four transformation imperatives of people, precision, posture, and partnerships are outlined

DLA’s mission is to drive and sustain Warfighter readiness by delivering unmatched global support. The Agency is responsible for the end-to-end global supply chain – from raw materials to end-user disposition – for the Military Services, 11 Combatant Commands (CCMDs), federal agencies, and partner and allied nations. Wherever our nation has a significant military presence, DLA is there. We are located in 48 states and 28 countries around the globe.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the Nation’s Logistics Combat Support Agency (CSA). As one of only eight CSAs in the Department of War (DoW), the DLA Director reports to the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment through the Assistant Secretary of War for Sustainment and works closely with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In FY25, DLA successfully accomplished its mission through its six Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs) and three Regional Commands, collocated with their supported Combatant Commands (CCMDs). The MSCs manage nine supply chains, along with a global storage and distribution network and disposition services.

Business Models

To ensure DLA provides the most efficient and affordable support to our customers, DLA operates two business models.

DLA Direct is designed to support the unique and often complex logistics requirements of the U.S. Military. Handling military-unique items such as weapon system parts, many of which support aging platforms with long lead times, inconsistent demand patterns, and specialized specifications.

Customer Direct, by contrast, focuses on the centralized procurement of largely commercial, off-the-shelf items such as medical supplies, food, and fuel. DLA leverages economies of scale and standardization to drive efficiency and cost savings across the DoW.
