DLA Public Affairs


The DLA Public Affairs Office provides communications support to all aspects of the Defense Logistics Agency. The office helps communicate how the Defense Department’s only combat logistics support agency provides resources to our nation’s men and women serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Space Force, at home and abroad. Public Affairs keeps the public and other government departments and agencies like Interior, Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers, Forestry and Homeland Security up to date on services DLA offers and provides to them. DLA strives to keep its employees and the general public informed on the most current information regarding logistic support worldwide.

See the Defense Information School's list of policy and doctrine documents for the documents that guide the overall Defense Department Public Affairs mission, as well as the department's Principles of Information for background on information made available to the public.

DLA Research & Development: Innovating Safe Lithium Battery Disposal

  • Defense Logistics Agency
  • March 5, 2025 | 4:23

Lithium batteries can be very expensive to ship once they are deemed end-of-life. For U.S. troops in the field transporting and shipping these batteries can be complex and costly. To decrease the cost for the Department of Defense, the Defense Logistics Agency's Research and Development team is working with industry to develop ways to make lithium batteries inert in the field so they can be effectively disposed of and cheaper to ship. See how DLA is working with industry to bring innovative solutions to difficult issues.
