We are committed to supplying our customers timely and quality products at an affordable cost.
We are also responsible for Subsistence-wide Industrial Base, Value Management, Pest Management/Sanitation/Packaging, and Quality Audit Programs. Our Operational Rations programs reflect the joint efforts of DLA Troop Support, the industrial base, and the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command on behalf of the military services.
