The package reclamation service that is the

being added for performance at distribution
centers that are organic to DLA Distribution.
In 2010, the Defense Distribution Center
(DDC) was renamed DLA Distribution. A
process was also initiated, by which the
remaining depots under its control, would
undergo a similar name change. Eventually,
each distribution center that was part of the
former DDC will be renamed as DLA
Distribution, plus its location name. The
