The coronavirus spread is having a negative impact on the international supply chain. Military bases are not immune from the impact. Shortages of product that are taking place in the United States are magnified at military bases overseas where they rely on a robust and dedicated supply chain. The American Logistics Association has a long history of stepping up to any challenge facing our troops and their families and this is no exception. The ALA launched a Resale Reaction Channel using the twitter platform ( @ResaleReaction) to provide a hub of information to ease bottlenecks, ensure product availability, control rumors and identify hotspots for remedy. This episode walks smartly through: Known supply chain impacts; Known military needs; Plans to assist; a Covid-19 update of impacted military bases; and a look at needed funding and the status of getting relief.
