Public Hearing on the Susquehanna Defense Logistics Agency
Today, the Senate Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness Committee held a public hearing on the Susquehanna Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) — a critical asset for our Nation, our Commonwealth, and our Region.
The DLA serves as a backbone for our Armed Forces, ensuring that America’s military has the supplies and logistical support needed to defend freedom at home and abroad. Its impact goes far beyond national defense:
🇺🇸 National Security – Providing essential equipment and supply chain support for our military readiness.
🏛️ Statewide Value – Strengthening Pennsylvania’s role as a hub for military and defense operations.
🏘️ Regional Benefits – Supporting thousands of jobs and boosting the economy in our local communities.
Our responsibility is to protect and sustain this vital mission. The Susquehanna DLA isn’t just a facility — it’s a lifeline for our troops, our state, and our families.

On Tuesday, we had the privilege of touring the aviation facilities at Fort Indiantown Gap. The work being done there is nothing short of top notch. From maintaining and flying advanced rotary-wing aircraft to ensuring our Guard and aviation crews are mission-ready, the professionalism and skill of these men and women are second to none.
Fort Indiantown Gap’s aviation program plays a critical role not only in the defense of our Commonwealth and nation but also in supporting emergency response, disaster relief, and community safety here at home.
Proud to see firsthand the dedication, precision, and excellence of Pennsylvania’s aviation teams. They truly represent the very best of service and commitment. 🇺🇸🚁
