The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is a pivotal agency within the United States Department of Defense. It’s tasked with providing a vast array of logistics, procurement, and supply chain services to support the nation’s military forces. It oversees the acquisition of everything from food, fuel, and uniforms. It also oversees medical supplies, and construction materials.

Ensuring that the armed services have the necessary resources to operate effectively both at home and abroad is no small task. In this episode of the GovFuture podcast, we get the opportunity to talk to Adarryl Roberts. He is Chief Information Officer at Defense Logistics Agency.
