# Susquehanna’s Unit Material Fielding Point team follows pallets to the customer

By DLA Distribution Public AffairsDLA Distribution Public Affairs

                DOVER, Deleware  –              

Select Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Susquehanna, Pa., UnitMaterial Fielding Point employees, along with employees from Troop Support inPhiladelphia, visited Dover Air Force Base to see what happens to their workafter it leaves the distribution center.

The team was able to follow the process after the Air Lines ofCommunication pallets they build leave DLA Distribution Susquehanna, and see howtheir work directly impacts the warfighter.  ALOC pallets are specialty shipments for aircraft transport totheater.

Last calendar year, the UMFP area processed and shipped more than 900ALOC pallets to Dover Air Force Base for forward shipment to Afghanistan andIraq.  “The tour was important for us becausewe had the opportunity to see what happens to our pallets when they get toDover,” said Jay Lightner, UMFP supervisor.  “We wanted to see if there was anythingwe could do to enhance the process.”

 “This was also a great networking opportunityfor us to finally meet the people we talk to on a weekly basis,” concludedLightner.  “I think we allleft with a greater appreciation for our work and its impact on thewarfighter.”
