00:00:01,161 --> 00:00:03,744
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:06,407 --> 00:00:07,958
- Every year, the dollars invested

3
00:00:07,958 --> 00:00:10,217
in Defense Contract Management Agency

4
00:00:10,217 --> 00:00:12,134
are carefully measured.

5
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:15,418
We look at what we saved, the costs we avoided,

6
00:00:15,418 --> 00:00:19,376
and the money we returned to The Department of Defense.

7
00:00:19,376 --> 00:00:22,035
In this year's DCMA insight magazine,

8
00:00:22,035 --> 00:00:24,928
we showcase those numbers and how they add up

9
00:00:24,928 --> 00:00:26,928
to a four to one return

10
00:00:26,928 --> 00:00:30,261
on every taxpayer dollar invested in us.

11
00:00:30,484 --> 00:00:32,651
The numbers are the facts.

12
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:34,664
But in this issue we also show you

13
00:00:34,664 --> 00:00:39,414
^how DCMA is first and foremost a product delivery agency.

14
00:00:40,464 --> 00:00:43,649
Our nation's war fighters expect our defense industry

15
00:00:43,649 --> 00:00:46,673
to deliver the equipment, the systems they need

16
00:00:46,673 --> 00:00:48,923
to fight, survive, and win.

17
00:00:49,551 --> 00:00:53,108
And every day, DCMA is on the factory floor

18
00:00:53,108 --> 00:00:55,191
making sure this happens.

19
00:00:56,831 --> 00:00:59,060
In last year's 4th quarter alone,

20
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:03,893
our agency employees delivered more than 217 million items

21
00:01:04,872 --> 00:01:07,789
valued at nearly 22 billion dollars

22
00:01:08,246 --> 00:01:12,329
from over 19,000 contractor facilities worldwide.

23
00:01:13,353 --> 00:01:16,251
These are more than inanimate objects.

24
00:01:16,251 --> 00:01:19,985
We are also delivering readiness and lethality.

25
00:01:19,985 --> 00:01:24,076
Our 12,000-strong integrated team makes this happen

26
00:01:24,076 --> 00:01:28,303
on time and at cost, managing hundreds of thousands

27
00:01:28,303 --> 00:01:32,886
of active contracts valued in the trillions of dollars.

28
00:01:33,022 --> 00:01:37,105
Every delivery, every radio, rifle, boot, helmet,

29
00:01:37,135 --> 00:01:41,052
aircraft, powered vehicle, battery, and missile

30
00:01:41,158 --> 00:01:45,408
was tracked, quality assured, approved for payment,

31
00:01:45,826 --> 00:01:48,571
and accepted on behalf of the government

32
00:01:48,571 --> 00:01:50,821
by our dedicated workforce.

33
00:01:51,577 --> 00:01:54,328
The magazine illustrates how DCMA is built

34
00:01:54,328 --> 00:01:57,806
to be the most efficient, effective, and affordable way

35
00:01:57,806 --> 00:02:00,607
to deliver war fighting equipment.

36
00:02:00,607 --> 00:02:02,131
You'll read about our part

37
00:02:02,131 --> 00:02:04,979
in maintaining battlefield superiority,

38
00:02:04,979 --> 00:02:07,942
how our work strengthens ties with our allies,

39
00:02:07,942 --> 00:02:11,199
the development of the new Joint Light Tactical Vehicle,

40
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:12,032
and more.

41
00:02:12,813 --> 00:02:15,687
You'll see numbers so large, they may even surprise

42
00:02:15,687 --> 00:02:18,354
our tenured agency team members.

43
00:02:18,444 --> 00:02:21,035
But if you learn nothing else about DCMA,

44
00:02:21,035 --> 00:02:24,352
know that almost every item our military is using

45
00:02:24,352 --> 00:02:28,911
at this moment around the world passed through our hands.

46
00:02:28,911 --> 00:02:31,994
