DLA is the Department of Defense’s largest logistics combat support agency and provides equipment, storage and services in both peace and wartime to military units and civilian agencies. DLA is home to many very large warehouses where equipment is stored in nine countries and 17 states.

Whether it be replacing a roof or HVAC system, installing fire protection measures and doors, or changing ceiling tiles for preventive maintenance, the District plays an important role in this worldwide mission.
