The leadership and perseverance of Navy Rear Adm. Kevin M. Jones has quite literally seen DLA Distribution through thick and thin as well as hell and high water. Under his command, DLA Distribution implemented the initial phase of the pilot at Corpus Christi Army Depot, Texas.

He aligned DLA Distribution with U.S. Central Command plan to increase strategic depth, doubling the capacity of DLA Distribution Bahrain, and saving the services over $50 million. Additionally, from October 2018 – June 2019, DLA Distribution’s new short-term transportation contract addressed customs requirements in the CENTCOM area of responsibility.

The STTC delivered 152 trucks and saved the services nearly $7 million. DLA Distribution then transitioned to the DLA Distribution transportation contract, delivering over 80 trucks to Kuwait and other CENTCOM destinations. Jones also dealt with natural disasters such as the wildfires that set the west ablaze from March to August of 2019, as well as Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall in the southeastern region of the country in August of the same year. Under the leadership of RDML Jones, vital supplies and material found their way to the U.S. Forest Service, to support their firefighting efforts.

Did you know that DLA has been using materiel availability to measure performance since 1961?

Originally called stock availability and later supply availability, this enduring metric rises or falls due to factors within and outside the agency’s control. Yearly MA is usually 89-90%, although several fiscal years have ended with it as low as 84%. DLA registered an all-time high when investments by Defense Secretary James N. Mattis increased factory purchases, and the pandemic decreased usage. Fiscal 2020 ended with DLA at 96.0% MA.
