Lots of Paper Maps Heading to Haiti
Ever heard of the Defense Logistics Agency? It’s the Defense Department’s combat logistics support agency and it’s been cranking out paper maps since the Haiti earthquake on Jan 12. How many?
Employees at Defense Supply Center Richmond’s Mapping Customer Operations Division have processed more than 1,300 orders for nearly 38,000 maps and charts, the division’s deputy chief, Kevin Bettis, said.
The maps were sent from Richmond—more than half via overnight delivery—to units on the scene and en route to Haiti, Bettis said.
