The mission of the U.S. Department of State (DoS), Bureau of Administration, Office of Logistics Management (A/LM) is to support U.S. diplomacy by providing efficient, economical, high-quality logistics support and related services to customers worldwide so they, in turn, can create a more secure, prosperous and democratic world for the benefit of the American people. Simply put, A/LM is the logistics manager for DoS. The vision is for A/LM to become DoS customers’ partner of choice for reliable and innovative logistics and business management solutions supporting the United States’ diplomatic efforts.

A/LM provides the logistics support needed to sustain those personnel and organizations directly responsible for carrying out the Department of State’s mission. Though A/LM is in a supporting role, its importance is paramount because the overall mission of DoS could not be accomplished without the material and services support provided by A/LM.

A/LM provides worldwide support to its customers, primarily embassies, consulates, and Foreign Service posts, but also other US Government Agencies involved in foreign affairs and operations. There are over 20,000 customers in approximately 260 locations around the world. State Annex 7B, managed by the Washington Distribution Branch (WDB) of A/LM, is responsible for the initial receipt, processing and shipment of materials and State Department vehicles, along with the temporary storage of shipments awaiting inspection.

The Nakuuruq Team has developed a methodology that will provide the Department of State’s Washington Logistics Center (WLC) with performance levels significantly better than has historically been achieved, and at a lower cost. We are well into our second year of this process with excellent results.
