Past event: Defense Logistics 2014 Conference

Supporting The Warfighter Through A Synchronized Joint-Force Supply Chain Since 2001

About Defense Logistics

Running since 2001, The Defense Logistics training event has become a set date on the calendars of hundreds of logisticians and has proven to be an influential forum of great logistics minds in the U.S. There has never been a more urgent time for you to join your fellow logisticians across the services, agencies and in the private sector to ensure that our logistics capabilities are the best they can be. As a nation at war, we must continue to be efficient in logistics to maintain the effectiveness of our Force – to provide the right materials at the right time and in the right place.

“As far as budget cuts, the Coast Guard is seeing some of the same things, on a much smaller scale, than DoD. I think that makes it even more incumbent on us to be at an event like Defense Logistics to continue to develop those partnerships with our DoD sister services and with the Interagency, to really, truly understand what capabilities they can provide, and leverage that where possible to ensure that we’re not going to duplicate – none of us can afford to do that, particularly in the budget environment we are in.”
Rear Admiral Gromlich, Director of Operational Logistics at the US Coast Guard
