A
 Brief
 Overview
Our
 History

•  1920
 Incorporated
 as
 the
 Quartermaster’s
 Associa7on
 (QMA)

 QMA
 was
 composed
 of
 officers
 of
 the
 Regular
 Army,
 the
 Na:onal
 Guard,
 the
 Organized
 Reserves,
 key
 civilians
 in
 the
 federal

 government
 and
 leaders
 of
 industry.

 QMA
 disseminated
 professional
 informa:on
 concerning
 all
 Quartermaster
 and
 related
 ac:vi:es,

 and
 fostered
 and
 promoted
 a
 spirit
 of
 coopera:on
 and
 friendly
 exchange
 of
 ideas
 among
 the
 members.

•  1961
 QMA
 becomes
 the
 Defense
 Supply
 Associa7on
 (DSA)

 The
 name
 was
 changed
 in
 response
 to
 the
 establishment
 of
 the
 Defense
 Supply
 Agency,
 as
 well
 as
 the
 increasing
 responsibili:es
 being

 placed
 upon
 the
 U.S.
 Army
 Quartermaster
 Corps
 to
 provide
 food,
 clothing
 and
 general
 supplies
 to
 all
 the
 Armed
 Forces
 under
 DoD’s

 single
 manager
 concept.

 The
 Associa:on
 was
 composed
 of
 officers
 of
 the
 Armed
 Forces,
 key
 civilians
 in
 the
 federal
 government
 and

 leaders
 of
 industry.

•  1972
 DSA
 becomes
 the
 American
 Logis7cs
 Associa7on
 (ALA)

 To
 eliminate
 confusion
 with
 the
 Defense
 Supply
 Agency,
 the
 Associa:on
 changed
 its
 name
 to
 the
 American
 Logis:cs
 Associa:on
 and

 adopted
 the
 “eagle
 in
 the
 oval”
 logo.

 The
 new
 ALA
 carried
 forward
 the
 same
 objec:ves
 of
 the
 Quartermaster
 and
 Defense
 Supply

 Associa:ons.

 According
 to
 an
 editorial
 in
 the
 July/August
 1972
 issue
 of
 ALA’s
 Review
 Magazine,
 the
 new
 name
 “was
 chosen
 to
 “show

 clearly
 who
 we
 are,
 what
 we
 do
 and
 how
 we
 intend
 to
 func:on.

 ‘American’
 must
 always
 exalt
 the
 pride
 of
 patrio:sm…we
 believe
 in

 our
 country,
 in
 its
 customs,
 in
 its
 ideas
 and
 in
 its
 business
 efforts.

 ‘Logis:cs’
 is
 defined
 as
 that
 branch
 of
 the
 military
 art
 which

 embraces
 the
 details
 of
 transport
 and
 supply.

 ‘Associa:on’
 is
 a
 union;
 a
 connec:on
 of
 persons
 or
 things,
 or
 a
 union
 of
 persons
 in
 a

 company
 or
 society
 for
 some
 par:cular
 purpose.”

•  1974
 ALA
 reorganizes
 into
 a
 na7onal
 trade
 associa7on

 Led
 by
 a
 Board
 of
 Directors
 comprised
 of
 representa:ves
 from
 industry,
 the
 newly
 organized
 associa:on
 was
 designed
 to
 serve

 industry
 and
 its
 related
 interests
 in
 military
 and
 other
 government
 ac:vi:es.

•  2005
 ALA
 Board
 of
 Directors
 revised
 the
 mission
 of
 ALA

 To
 include
 a
 focus
 on
 Total
 Quality
 of
 Life
 and
 MWR/Services.

 American

 Associa:on

 and

 of
 life
 benefits

 of
 our
 members
