00:01.161 --> 00:03.744
(upbeat music)

00:06.407 --> 00:07.958
- Every year, the dollars invested

00:07.958 --> 00:10.217
in Defense Contract Management Agency

00:10.217 --> 00:12.134
are carefully measured.

00:12.179 --> 00:15.418
We look at what we saved, the costs we avoided,

00:15.418 --> 00:19.376
and the money we returned to The Department of Defense.

00:19.376 --> 00:22.035
In this year's DCMA insight magazine,

00:22.035 --> 00:24.928
we showcase those numbers and how they add up

00:24.928 --> 00:26.928
to a four to one return

00:26.928 --> 00:30.261
on every taxpayer dollar invested in us.

00:30.484 --> 00:32.651
The numbers are the facts.

00:32.719 --> 00:34.664
But in this issue we also show you

00:34.664 --> 00:39.414
^how DCMA is first and foremost a product delivery agency.

00:40.464 --> 00:43.649
Our nation's war fighters expect our defense industry

00:43.649 --> 00:46.673
to deliver the equipment, the systems they need

00:46.673 --> 00:48.923
to fight, survive, and win.

00:49.551 --> 00:53.108
And every day, DCMA is on the factory floor

00:53.108 --> 00:55.191
making sure this happens.

00:56.831 --> 00:59.060
In last year's 4th quarter alone,

00:59.060 --> 01:03.893
our agency employees delivered more than 217 million items

01:04.872 --> 01:07.789
valued at nearly 22 billion dollars

01:08.246 --> 01:12.329
from over 19,000 contractor facilities worldwide.

01:13.353 --> 01:16.251
These are more than inanimate objects.

01:16.251 --> 01:19.985
We are also delivering readiness and lethality.

01:19.985 --> 01:24.076
Our 12,000-strong integrated team makes this happen

01:24.076 --> 01:28.303
on time and at cost, managing hundreds of thousands

01:28.303 --> 01:32.886
of active contracts valued in the trillions of dollars.

01:33.022 --> 01:37.105
Every delivery, every radio, rifle, boot, helmet,

01:37.135 --> 01:41.052
aircraft, powered vehicle, battery, and missile

01:41.158 --> 01:45.408
was tracked, quality assured, approved for payment,

01:45.826 --> 01:48.571
and accepted on behalf of the government

01:48.571 --> 01:50.821
by our dedicated workforce.

01:51.577 --> 01:54.328
The magazine illustrates how DCMA is built

01:54.328 --> 01:57.806
to be the most efficient, effective, and affordable way

01:57.806 --> 02:00.607
to deliver war fighting equipment.

02:00.607 --> 02:02.131
You'll read about our part

02:02.131 --> 02:04.979
in maintaining battlefield superiority,

02:04.979 --> 02:07.942
how our work strengthens ties with our allies,

02:07.942 --> 02:11.199
the development of the new Joint Light Tactical Vehicle,

02:11.199 --> 02:12.032
and more.

02:12.813 --> 02:15.687
You'll see numbers so large, they may even surprise

02:15.687 --> 02:18.354
our tenured agency team members.

02:18.444 --> 02:21.035
But if you learn nothing else about DCMA,

02:21.035 --> 02:24.352
know that almost every item our military is using

02:24.352 --> 02:28.911
at this moment around the world passed through our hands.

02:28.911 --> 02:31.994
