OPERATION THROWBACK: BATTLE DAMAGE

​

James Whitney assisted with the drafting and implementation of the MRAP Program FY11 budget of $3.4B as well as production planning and implementation of new stock and product development for the government and foreign military sales. Rugged terrain and improvised explosive devices have wreaked the most havoc on MRAPs. Damage to an MRAP variant called the Cougar, used primarily by the Marine Corps, required DLA to supply new axle and suspension kits. Deputy Director John Dreska’s team and DLA Distribution’s James Whitney worked with vendors and David Harris, deputy commander of DLA Distribution Susquehanna, to get about 88,000 parts shipped to Susquehanna. From there, they were shipped to a contractor for kit consolidation and airlift. “DLA Distribution Susquehanna did an outstanding job expediting these urgent shipments from the vendor to Force Protection Inc., performing the work directly on the dock with turnaround times of less than a day,” James Whitney said. LogLines Magazine Aug 2011

When a customer calls, DLA Distribution responds. When DLA Distribution was informed that Marines in Afghanistan needed increased support for critically downed Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, vehicles, the organization quickly worked to find an efficient and effective solution to provide the parts required for kits needed by troops in theater in a mission entitled “Operation Throwback.” The buildup of troops in Afghanistan is resulting in an increase in support from DLA Distribution to ensure those troops stay safe by keeping these MRAP vehicles mission-ready. MRAP vehicles are a family of armored fighting vehicles designed to survive land mines and improvised explosive device attacks and ambushes. Due to the current wet season in Afghanistan, combined with rugged terrain, many of these vehicles were in need of new axle and suspension kits. When DLA Distribution checked inventories on the piece parts needed for these kits, however, they discovered there was not enough currently on hand to meet the customer’s immediate needs, and DLA Distribution MRAP/MATV subject matter expert James Whitney went to work coordinating the shipment of additional parts from the vendor.
Whitney, who is responsible for the distribution and coordination of the approximately 41,000 MRAP National Stock Numbers DLA Distribution manages to support MRAP provisioning, says when the customer asked for the parts, he first checked inventories at DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa., and Red River, Texas, for the parts required, as these distribution centers provided the largest amount of MRAP parts support throughout DLA Distribution. “Unfortunately, our centers were not stocked to meet such an immediate high demand, but recognizing the urgency in repairing these life-sustaining systems, DLA Distribution, in coordination with DLA Land and Maritime, was able to obtain nearly 90,000 piece parts, totaling over 230 separate shipments from the vendor in a matter of two months, which is incredible,” he said. The parts were shipped from the vendor to DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa., where they were receipted, palletized, and shipped to Bentley 3PL Force Protection Industries for consolidation into the required kits and airlifted to customers in theater. “DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa., did an outstanding job expediting these urgent shipments from the vendor to Bentley 3PL Force Protection Industries, performing the work directly on the dock with turnaround times of less than a day,” said Whitney.
To date, Whitney has coordinated and tracked the shipment of piece parts used to assemble a total of nearly 1,300 axle and suspension kits needed in support of dead-lined MRAP vehicles. “Operation Throwback was a certainly a challenge in that it required continuous monitoring, tracking, expediting, and reporting of materiel shipments and receipts but it was important to get prompt aid to the customer in theater,” said Whitney. “To date, 10 Marine Corp Cougar MRAPs have already had the new kits installed and are already saving lives in southern Afghanistan.” DLA Distribution News 2013

AFGHANISTAN REVERSE LOGISTICS PROJECT DLA/ARMY G3

​

James Whitney was in charge of all the planning and command control of DLA Distribution Kandahar Army retrograde and disposal processes as well as the planning and coordination of the closure of DLA Distribution in Afghanistan from DLA as the SME. The team consisted of DLA HQ, DLA Distribution senior staff, Army G4, and several other key entities. James did this by looking at capacity at each distribution center CONUS to determine where stock could be redistributed to. He then assisted each service with reviewing the stock on hand in Kandahar Depot to determine high priority and high dollar value items that needed to be safely shipped back to the United States and what could be given to foreign military sales, disposed of, or given to units deployed in or around Afghanistan. He next began processing all of the material to its final destination.

DLA DISTRIBUTION RIGA LATVIA ROUTE CREATION OF THE NORTHERN DISTRIBUTION ROUTE

​

While James Whitney was a Distribution Manager DLA Distribution Kandahar Afghanistan James worked with Army G3, Amy G4, CENTCOM, DLA HQ, and TRANSCOM to help in finding Ways Around Pakistan. For the first seven years of the war in Afghanistan, almost all supplies and equipment were shipped by sea to the Pakistani port of Karachi. From there, they were trucked overland to Afghanistan, through parts of Pakistan effectively controlled by the Taliban. In 2008, the U.S. military lost as much as 15 percent of its supplies in those areas due to ambushes and theft. Establishing another supply route became a top priority. When President Obama decided to surge 30,000 additional troops into Afghanistan, the use of alternative routes became all the more critical It was against this background that military planners developed what came to be known as the Northern Distribution Network, RIGA Route, a variety of routes from Europe across Central Asia, and into Afghanistan from the north. The routes all avoided transit through Pakistan. The first pathway was across the Caucasus region and Central Asia, largely on rail lines. Routes were later added from Iraq through Turkey and then to the east. Routes originate in each of the major Baltic port of Riga in Latvia and continue through Belarus. This project was vital to the safety of US Troops and Contractors as well as the protection and control of supplies from falling into an adversary’s hands.

DLA LITIGATED MATERIAL REDUCTION PROJECT

​

James spearheaded the reduction of litigated MRAP stock held at DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa., which allowed DLA to bring to file, in ready for use condition code A status, over $9 million in critical MRAP spare Parts. Mr. Whitney was able to do this through assisting in the modification of contracts, establishing a Litigated Material TIGER Team, working with vendors on receiving feedback for material ending up in litigation and the cause of the material being placed in litigation, provided training on proper packaging and identification of material to vendors; and created new Standard Operating Procedures to assist the distribution centers with identifying material and verifying if the material actually has a legal case of fraud or damage/harmful or if it can be issued.
