McCoy, USA [[Page 230]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) was established by the Secretary of Defense and operates under Department of Defense Directive 5105.22. It provides supplies to the military services and supports their acquisition of weapons and other materiel. Support begins with joint planning with the services for parts for new weapon systems, extends through production, and concludes with the disposal of material which is obsolete, worn out, or no longer needed. The Agency provides supply support, contract administration services, and technical and logistics services to all branches of the military and to a number of Federal agencies. Supply Management The Agency buys and manages a vast number and variety of items used by all of the military services and some civilian agencies. The military services determine their requirements for supplies and materiel and establish their priorities. Agency supply centers consolidate the services' requirements and procure the supplies in sufficient quantities to meet the services' projected needs, critical to maintaining the readiness of our forces. The Agency manages supplies in eight commodity areas: fuel, food, clothing, construction material, electronic supplies, general supplies, industrial supplies, and medical supplies. Distribution The two defense distribution regions--East and West-- operate the supply distribution system, which encompasses materiel distribution and related functions. Distribution is defined as all actions involving the receipt of new procurement, redistributions, and field returns; storage of materiel, including care of materiel and supplies in storage; the issue of materiel; consolidation and containerization of materiel; preservation, packaging, packing, and marking; physical inventory; quality control; traffic management; other transportation services; unit materiel fielding and set assembly/ disassembly; and transshipment and minor repair. Contract Administration The Agency manages contracts awarded by the military services, DLA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, other Federal agencies, and foreign governments. Its Defense Contract Management Command (DCMC) is responsible for ensuring that procured materiel is of satisfactory quality and is delivered when and where needed. Services of the Defense Contract Management Command-- highlighting pricing and negotiations, property, overhead management, quality assurance, manufacturing, engineering, law, safety, small business assistance, and contractor employment compliance--are performed at or near contractor plants through a complex of offices which vary in size, depending on workload and the concentration of Government contractors in the area. Other Logistics Support Services The Defense Logistics Services Center manages the Federal Supply Catalog System, which lists a National Stock Number and description of over 6 million items. This catalog system is used throughout the Federal Government. The Center also maintains a data bank of information used to design, purchase, transport, store, transfer, and dispose of Government supplies. The Defense National Stockpile of strategic and critical materials is maintained to reduce the Nation's dependence upon foreign sources of supply for such materials in times of national emergency. The Defense National Stockpile Center is authorized to procure and dispose of materials as needed. The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service provides for the redistribution and disposal of DOD equipment and supplies no longer needed by the original user. Assets are matched against requirements of the military services and Federal agencies and transferred as needed. When equipment becomes surplus, it is offered to the General Services Administration and State agencies, after which it is sold to the public. The Service is a worldwide organization with offices on most military installations.

Callaway, USAF ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is the oldest defense agency, having evolved from the Manhattan Project of World War II. Known variously over the years as the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, the Defense Atomic Support Agency, and the Defense Nuclear Agency, DSWA is currently chartered under DOD Directive 5105.31. The Agency is designated to be the DOD center of expertise for nuclear and special weapons effects, and operates under the authority, direction, and control of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Chemical and Biological Defense Programs (ATSD(NCB)). The Agency supports the ATSD(NCB) in all nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship matters, including the annual nuclear weapons stockpile certification and the nuclear weapons dual revalidation program with the Department of Energy. As part of its stockpile stewardship mission, DSWA tracks the location and status of all U.S. nuclear weapons. Agency personnel also conduct weapons effects research, training, and operational unit inspections to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile. Furthermore, DSWA provides planning assistance to combatant commanders and support in case of a nuclear weapons accident or incident. Through the use of simulators, computer models, and non-nuclear field tests, the Agency supports the military services and combatant commanders by verifying that essential military systems can operate in hostile nuclear environments. It also supports the targeting community through the development of automated analysis and planning tools to ensure the effective employment of both nuclear and conventional weapons across the spectrum of potential targets. One area of specific interest has been the effectiveness of conventional weapons against hardened and deeply buried targets and facilities that may be used to produce or store weapons of mass destruction. For the Secretary of Defense, the Agency conducts the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which provides support to the states of the former Soviet Union as they comply with a variety of recent arms control treaties. The Agency also carries out the arms control treaty verification technology and counterproliferation technology programs for the Department of Defense. For the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, DSWA provides field support in the form of vulnerability assessments for the force protection program. Other unique responsibilities include operating the Defense Nuclear Weapons School, supporting the Nuclear Test Personnel [[Page 233]] Review and the Radiation Experimentation Center, and providing base support at Johnston Atoll, one of the U.S. Army's chemical weapons storage and destruction sites.

Crowell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The National Security Agency was established by Presidential directive in 1952 as a separately organized agency within the Department of Defense. In this directive, the President designated the Secretary of Defense as Executive Agent for the signals intelligence and communications security activities of the Government. In 1972, the Central Security Service was established, also in accordance with a Presidential memorandum, to provide a more unified cryptologic organization within the Department of Defense, with control over the signals intelligence activities of the military services. As the U.S. cryptologic organization, NSA/CSS employs the Nation's premier codemakers and codebreakers. It ensures an informed, alert, and secure environment for U.S. warfighters and American policymakers. The cryptologic resources of NSA/CSS, foreign signals intelligence (SIGINT) and information systems security (INFOSEC), unite to provide U.S. policymakers with intelligence information derived from America's adversaries while protecting U.S. signals and information systems from exploitation by those same adversaries. Executive Order 12333 of December 4, 1981, describes in more detail the responsibilities of the National Security Agency.
