# DLA Distribution celebrates the Marines Corps 241st birthday

By Brianne M. BenderDLA Distribution Public Affairs

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pennsylvania  –              
Defense Logistics Agency, Distribution employees and leadership gathered to wish a collective “Happy Birthday” to the U.S. Marines Corps Nov. 10, in honor of the service’s 241st birthday. November 10, 1775 was the day that the Continental Marines, later renamed the United States Marine Corps, was established and each year on November 10, the United States celebrates United States Marine Corp Day.

Opening the celebration, DLA Distribution commanding general Army Brig. Gen. John Laskodi presented awards to two members of the DLA Distribution Audit Readiness team, Victor Shluharchuk and Rose Snavely-Howe, for their contributions in helping DLA reach audit readiness two full years ahead of the goal mandated by the Secretary of Defense. 

Following the award presentation, Laskodi explained how The United States Marine Corps fulfills a vital role in national security as an amphibious, expeditionary, air-ground combined arms task force, capable of forcible entry from the air, land and sea.

Laskodi then invited all current and former Marines to join him in a cake cutting ceremony, in which the most senior and most junior Marine assisted. 

DLA Distribution provides services to Marine customers at DLA Distribution Albany, Ga., and DLA Distribution Barstow, Calif. DLA Distribution Albany stocks a wide range of retail items used in support of the Marine Depot Maintenance Command. Items stored include vehicle data plates, weapon parts, nuts, bolts and washers. The Albany distribution center also performs kitting and inventories of the lineside stock items in support of the various production lines located within the local maintenance activity. DLA Distribution Barstow’s, Yermo Annex is home to the Industrial Support operation that provides receipt, storage, issue and delivery processes for the Yermo-based Marine Corps Maintenance Depot in Barstow. This operation delivers on a real-time demand schedule to support production lines, producing a variety of wheeled and track vehicles. With a hot, dry desert climate, Barstow is an ideal location for outdoor storage for large tactical vehicles and equipment. Among the major items stored outside are Tracked and Wheeled Vehicles, ship propellers and drive shafts, anchors and radar units.
