Midwest Center for Defense Sustainment
”A DSC Center of Excellence”

The Defense Alliance of Minnesota, the Midwest’s premier defense and homeland security industry network, is the coordinator for the regional Center of Excellence of the Defense Sustainment Consortium (DSC), the Midwest Center for Defense Sustainment

DSC is the Department of Defense flagship effort, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), to harness technology and practices that will provide our nation’s armed forces with the best mission equipment and systems that are sustainable for the long haul.

In 2007, the Defense Alliance of Minnesota was chosen to be the overall coordinator for the DSC Center of Excellence in the Midwest region, in order to tap into the vast industry resources that are available in this part of the country for DSC related technology and practices.
