00:17.069 --> 00:18.847
We're here at DL A distribution

00:18.860 --> 00:20.916
Tobyhanna , Pennsylvania . Otherwise

00:20.916 --> 00:22.971
the Poconos and we're located at the

00:22.971 --> 00:25.299
Tobyhanna Army Depot . We fall under D

00:25.309 --> 00:27.159
A distribution major subordinate

00:27.170 --> 00:29.337
command for Defense Logistics Agency ,

00:30.020 --> 00:33.479
receiving storage and issuing shipping

00:33.490 --> 00:36.000
of mainly electronical components , but

00:36.009 --> 00:38.639
many things large and small out to

00:38.650 --> 00:40.849
across the world . The majority of our

00:40.860 --> 00:43.639
equipment is 60% of our army that we

00:43.650 --> 00:45.639
store and issue and receive . Then

00:45.650 --> 00:47.983
other service components . Navy Marines ,

00:47.983 --> 00:50.261
Coast Guard , you name it , we have it ,

00:50.261 --> 00:53.634
we are responsible for making sure that

00:53.645 --> 00:55.812
the stuff that is sent to us is stored

00:55.812 --> 00:57.756
and ready for issuing . So if Toby

00:57.756 --> 00:59.978
Hannah is repairing something , we have

00:59.978 --> 01:02.089
to make sure we get it over to them .

01:02.089 --> 01:04.312
And ultimately , the quicker we can get

01:04.312 --> 01:06.312
it inside our storage , the quicker

01:06.312 --> 01:08.367
they can get it to repair and get it

01:08.367 --> 01:10.201
out to the war fighter . I'm the

01:10.201 --> 01:12.256
central receiving supervisor for the

01:12.256 --> 01:14.423
wholesale division at DL A . We handle

01:14.423 --> 01:16.645
all inbound trucks coming in and we put

01:16.645 --> 01:18.812
everything onto record which then goes

01:18.812 --> 01:21.000
into storage from there . It would go

01:21.010 --> 01:23.209
either directly out to the war fighter

01:23.300 --> 01:25.467
or it would go over to the shops to be

01:25.467 --> 01:28.089
repaired , which then would turn back

01:28.099 --> 01:30.319
to us for storage and then go back out

01:30.330 --> 01:32.610
to the war fighter . So the main

01:32.620 --> 01:34.690
difference between the wholesale and

01:34.699 --> 01:36.977
the retail divisions at D Distribution ,

01:37.089 --> 01:39.311
Tobyhanna , the wholesale mission is to

01:39.311 --> 01:41.478
accept the parts from customers in the

01:41.478 --> 01:43.919
field . They're normally used . They're

01:43.930 --> 01:46.089
not in serviceable condition . The

01:46.099 --> 01:48.620
retail mission , we receive the parts

01:48.629 --> 01:52.410
that fix the wholesale in the

01:52.419 --> 01:55.379
retail division . Our mission we could

01:55.639 --> 01:58.349
have parts that picks a $5 asset or a

01:58.360 --> 02:00.582
$5 million asset . So the employees are

02:00.589 --> 02:03.610
very aware that their jobs directly

02:03.620 --> 02:05.398
support the war fighter and how

02:05.398 --> 02:07.980
important it is . We're serving the war

02:07.989 --> 02:10.500
fighter . So everything here matters ,

02:10.509 --> 02:12.731
there is equipment they need on a daily

02:12.731 --> 02:14.953
basis out there . So we're here storing

02:14.953 --> 02:17.179
it whenever they're short on anything ,

02:17.190 --> 02:19.412
they're ordering it through us and it's

02:19.412 --> 02:21.412
going shipped out to them . So it's

02:21.412 --> 02:24.830
very important . DDP . We want to be

02:24.839 --> 02:27.240
able to enable the war fighter to be

02:27.250 --> 02:28.861
able to maneuver through the

02:28.861 --> 02:30.972
battlefield and get all the equipment

02:30.972 --> 02:33.083
that they need to be able to overcome

02:33.083 --> 02:35.250
any contingencies , whatever they need

02:35.250 --> 02:37.417
for training . And we always strive to

02:37.419 --> 02:39.641
make sure that the war fighter is first

02:39.641 --> 02:41.863
for anything that we do . So that's why

02:41.863 --> 02:42.990
our motto is War Fighter first .
