Robert Johnson, an acquisition and management professional with 24 years of civilian career in the U.S. Air Force, has assumed responsibility as the acquisition executive of the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime.
He will oversee strategic sourcing, planning, research and development programs and other acquisition initiatives for the land and maritime supply chains, DLA said Monday.
Prior to his appointment, Johnson served as chief of contracting for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Fighters and Advanced Aircraft Directorate and Mobility and Training Aircraft Directorate.
“[His] 27 years of logistics expertise supporting multiple programs throughout the Air Force only highlight a smidge of the depth and breadth of acumen that [he has] brought and will continue to bring to the fight,” said Brig. Gen. Gail Atkins, commanding general of DLA.
Johnson’s Air Force career includes time as division functional lead for ISR Sensors and FMS contracting, acting chief of contracting for the F-16 program and contracting officer and source selection team lead for contracted support services.
