Defense Logistics Agency · Department of War · Budget & working capital

A revolving fund, not an appropriation.

DLA does not run on a normal annual appropriation. It operates a working-capital fund — buying inventory, selling materiel and services to military customers, and recycling the revenue to buy again. This is what that budget looks like: each activity group's operating result, the inventory the fund carries, and what the agency actually buys.

Activity groups — operating result

Revenue, expenses, and Net Operating Result (NOR) by fiscal year, in $ millions. The fund targets break-even over time; negative NOR years reflect price timing, not a funding shortfall. FY-marked e = estimate.
