# DLA, Navy leaders discuss logistics, readiness during partnership meeting

By Nancy Benecki

                FORT BELVOIR, Va.  –              
Defense Logistics Agency leaders and key members of the Navy discussed logistics, readiness and several other topics during a partnership meeting Oct. 11.

DLA Director Navy Vice Adm. Michelle Skubic and DLA Logistics Operations Director Navy Rear Adm. Doug Noble met with Navy leaders including Rear Adm. Ken Epps, commander of Naval Supply Systems Command. Representatives from DLA’s major subordinate commands also attended.

Topics discussed during the four-plus hour meeting included compliance and establishing agreements to work within the Treasury Department’s G-Invoicing program, auditability, subsistence support, material availability, and the transitioning of Navy fuel points from Naval Supply Systems Command to local commanders. There was also a presentation on the trilateral security partnership, known as AUKUS, between Australia, United Kingdom and the United States, and the sale of Virginia class submarines to Australia.

The meeting was an opportunity for DLA and Navy leaders to discuss the Navy’s key logistics issues and how DLA can help improve readiness, said Navy Capt. Patrick Kelly, DLA’s national accounts manager for the Navy.

“It’s the continued collaboration and communication between DLA and the service to ensure that we're working together to solve the issues that both the Navy and DLA face,” Kelly said.

The meeting led to a list of action items to be worked on over the next year, Kelly added.

“As DLA NAMs, our job is to make sure that the communication line stays open. If the service is having an issue, we're here to help the service and get the right DLA subject matter expert or MSC involved to help hopefully solve these problems,” he said.
