# Fiscal 2022 history report details agency’s latest efforts

By Beth Reece

                FORT BELVOIR, Va.  –              
Rapid response and technology transformation are among themes of the Defense Logistics Agency’s fiscal 2022 historical report published early this month.

“As usual, our people were the main characters,” DLA Director Navy Vice Adm. Michelle Skubic says in the opening message. “The DLA team responded to the emergencies at pace while carrying out calculated plans to modernize and prepare for the future.”

The 247-page document features an executive summary by DLA Historian Colin Williams and reports from all six major subordinate commands as well as 16 headquarters-level directorates.

DLA’s support to U.S. European Command doubled in fiscal 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The agency obligated almost $1.8 billion in spare parts, construction items, tents, fuel, food and more for U.S. troops in the theater.

The year was also marked by the debut of the Warehouse Management System, which is expected to improve efficiency and auditability at DLA warehouses around the world. WMS is part of DLA’s largest information technology modernization in over 20 years.

National events help drive the agency’s response and achievements, said Williams, who’s chronicled the agency’s history every year since 2019.

“Our focus on management efficiency involves repair parts and missions that by themselves seem small but, when viewed in totality, have a significant effect on the readiness of our military forces and security of the American population,” he said, citing WMS and DLA Distribution’s COVID-19 test kit mission as proof.

He said DLA’s historical reports help illuminate trends in areas ranging from small business partnerships to staffing.

“For example, the DLA workforce has shrunk marginally each of the three years from fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2022. Quietly we’ve managed in fiscal 2022 to figure out how to do the same work as three years ago but with about 1,000 fewer employees,” he said.

The report is a public document and was cleared by DLA Intelligence to protect sensitive and classified information.

Previous reports and other historical information is available at on the DLA History page.
