By Alvin WilliamsDLA Distribution

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.  –              
Defense Logistics Agency Foreign Policy Advisor Gregory Winstead made a brief visit to DLA Distribution Headquarters, June 28.

As a foreign policy advisor (referred to as POLAD), Winstead provides expertise and advice to senior, strategic level military and civilian leaders within DLA.

The POLAD’s visit included a general command overview and concluded with a tour of The Eastern Distribution Center, which is the largest distribution processing facility in the Defense Department, spanning 1.7 million square feet. He was brought up to speed on the center’s modernization efforts and all its recent technological renovations.

Winstead is a former DLA Energy direct delivery contract specialist who changed careers and joined the U.S. Department of State in 2000 as a career foreign service officer and later became a member of the Senior Foreign Service. During his diplomatic career, he held consular, economic and political team leadership assignments in Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East and in Washington headquarters postings.
