When the massive fire hit California, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) or the Defense Department’s biggest combat support agency, has supported and helped the fire victims. In fact, the agency has supplied the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with meals and other needs to help evacuees as well as put out the fire.
There were 214 active-duty personnel, 72 Defense Department civilians and 2,492 National Guardsmen who have come to make firefighting, security and relief operations possible.
All in all, DLA has provided 120,600 packaged meals as support to the entire operation, not to mention that it has also sent fire retardant coveralls and gloves.
Generally, DLA is the main agency that provides technical and logistic support to the United States Military Services and other federal civilian agencies. The headquarters of DLA is located in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. DLA is said to be the primary source for consumable items. They usually supplies these goods as aid to emergency preparedness, combat readiness or even simply daily operations in the Defense Department.
