ENERGY CONNECTION

Team Energy

 Good news! Nationwide, we are 

seeing the COVID metrics continuing 

a downward trend of positive COVID 

cases (down 20% from last week), 

hospitalizations and deaths. The number 

of daily positive cases across DLA 

continues to decline as well with 61 

active cases as of March 2.

 To date, DLA has contacted 94.7% 

of the workforce regarding interest/

intent to receive the vaccine with 

47.9% volunteering to receive a DLAadministered vaccine when its available 

to them. 

 While we are still uncertain when 

the McNamara Headquarters Complex 

will transition from Phase 0 to Phase 1, 

know that the Energy team is taking a 

deliberate approach to this transition. 

Hand-in-hand with CDC guidance , DLA 

is working to prepare for reconstitution 

and to remind folks of the proper 

workforce etiquette when we return 

to the office. I am working with Equal 

Employment Opportunity Director 

Ahmad Burse and Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator Ella Warren to 

develop action plans and resources. 

 Please keep in mind that the safety 

precautions and measures implemented 

is working (i.e. washing hands, wearing 

masks, proper personal hygiene, etc). 

Your safe practices will help us move 

forward in returning to a new normal.

 Thanks for all you do for Energy and 

the Warfighter!

New policy on controlled unclassified information

confusion and inconsistency by mandating the use 

of “Controlled Unclassified Information” instead of 

“For Official Use Only” or other means to identify 

unclassified, sensitive information. Stay tuned for the 

announcement of mandatory LMS training.
