Q&A Maintaining a Globally Responsive Supply Chain Supply Optimizer Redding Hobby Acting Director Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Operations Directorate Redding Hobby, a member of the Senior Executive Service, is the acting director of Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Operations. DLA Logistics Operations (J3) is responsible for the end-toend supply chain management of the Defense Logistics Agency’s eight supply chains, providing logistics and material process management policy, guidance, oversight and monitoring of supply chain performance. J3 is the principal strategic, operational and tactical planner for DLA business operations, championing best business practices, Enterprise Business Systems and value-added logistics solutions for the warfighter. J3 oversees the daily operation of the DLA Logistics field activities and engages customers around the world to maximize readiness and logistics combat power by leveraging an enterprise solution. Hobby has served in a wide range of military and civilian positions during his tenure with the federal government. Most recently, he was the executive director of the Strategic Programs and Initiatives Directorate, where he oversaw responsibility for managing strategic plans, programs, concepts and initiatives for the current to near future in order to inform and influence decisions on policy, strategy and the development of capabilities to enhance anticipated logistics support to warfighters. Part of this mission included overseeing implementation of the Base Realignment and Closure 2005 Supply and Storage recommendations that focus on Defense Department logistics supply chain integration. While on active duty as an Army officer, he commanded at platoon, company, battalion and brigade levels. He saw extensive service in tactical-level organizations in Europe, Korea and the United States. He became a logistician in 1984. Hobby’s military service culminated in 2002, when he retired as a colonel of ordnance and transitioned to civil service. He served as an environmental physical scientist, logistics specialist and Army Senior Executive Service member. He was appointed to the Air Force Senior Executive Service in 2008. Hobby graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y., in 1973, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering. He is a graduate of the Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and the Army War College, Carlisle, Pa. His personal awards include the Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit with three oak leaf clusters, the Meritorious Service Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Joint Meritorious Civilian Service Award, two Meritorious Civilian Service Awards and the Achievement Medal for Civilian Service. He is a senior parachutist and an Army Ranger. Redding Hobby was interviewed by KMI Media Group Editorin-Chief Jeff McKaughan Q: What are the budget implications for DLA and how is that driving agency efficiencies from where you sit? A: The Defense Logistics Agency is a defense working capital fund organization. That means we provide sustainment support to the military services on a reimbursable basis. If a unit needs a repair part, for example, DLA’s Land and Maritime organization or our DLA Aviation organization or perhaps DLA’s Troop Support organization procures that part and we provide it to the service. Their Title 10 responsibility then, in a manner of speaking, reimburses us for that. In austere budget times, DLA sells less, so we adjust our business models to accommodate the needs of the services. We will focus on the demand signals we get from the military services and adjust our acquisition strategies appropriately. We never want to over or under buy, so we focus on hitting it just right and buying what the services need in a timely manner. In that way, we synchronize with our primary supported units and customers—the military services. www.MLF-kmi.com MLF 6.5 | 19
