JSLs

JSLs, or Joint Service Logistics, are a branch of the United States military responsible for the procurement, maintenance, and distribution of supplies and equipment to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force. Established in 1920, JSLs is the oldest military service in the U.S. Department of Defense. The branch is headquartered at Fort Lee, Virginia, and is commanded by a four-star general.

JSLs is organized into several major commands, each responsible for specific areas of logistics support. These include the Army Service Component Command, the Navy and Marine Corps Logistics Command, the Air Force Logistics Command, and the Space and Missile Systems Command. Each command is further divided into smaller units, known as depots and activities, which specialize in specific types of equipment and supplies.

The primary mission of JSLs is to ensure that military forces have the necessary resources to perform their duties effectively. This includes managing the acquisition of new equipment, the maintenance and repair of existing equipment, and the distribution of supplies to forward-deployed units. JSLs also plays a crucial role in disaster response and humanitarian assistance, providing logistical support to civilian agencies in times of crisis.

JSLs employs a diverse workforce, with personnel serving in various roles such as logistics officers, supply specialists, maintenance technicians, and procurement specialists. The branch is committed to maintaining a high level of professionalism and excellence in its operations, and is continually seeking ways to improve its processes and technologies to better support the military services.
