VADM Harnitchek to Keynote
Vice Admiral Mark Hanitchek, Director of the Defense Logistics Agency, will be keynoting the seminar on February 7.
What, you might ask, does military logistics have to do with supply chains in disater response?
DLA provides logistics support to FEMA and military organizations such as the Army Corps of Engineers, the National Guard and U.S. Northern Command.
As superstorm Sandy approached the Eastern coastline DLA increased the op tempo in its Joint Logistics Operations Center. The JLOC is DLA’s focal point for gathering and analyzing information involving the agency’s operations from within and outside of the agency. As the storm approached the Northeast, the JLOC added a third shift and went to 24-hour operations, anticipating the demand to coordinate immediate logistics support for relief efforts.
As requests for help and material came in via FEMA, DLA responded. Within two weeks of the storm the JLOC had helped coordinate the delivery of more than 6.2 million meals, 48 pallets of bottled water, 7.8 million gallons of fuel, 107 water pumps, 51 generators, 500 sets of cold-weather clothing, 172,000 blankets, 4,000 cots, 200 hypothermia-prevention kits and six portable X-ray machines.
