One of the most prominent topics of the 2010 NOLSC | NDTA Symposium in Norfolk, Virginia ("Operational Logistics: Accelerate Your Future", January 25 - 28, 2010) was the subject of relief efforts in Haiti following the 7.0 earthquake on January 12th.  Military logisticians had joined forces to deliver aid to the island nation through Operation Unified Response commanded by US SOUTHCOM. Representatives from USTRANSCOM, Naval Supply Command and the Fleet & Industrial Supply Centers were among the distinguished keynote speakers who shared insight into that mission and supply chain operations.

The Naval  Operational Logistics Support Center (NOLSC), provides worldwide operational logistics support in: transportation and distribution, ammunition, petroleum, and logistics planning to Naval operating forces and other supported units.  It operates the NAVSUP Logistics Operations Center to provide a logistics common operating picture of ongoing operations and world events.  NOLSC’s nearly 500 personnel operate 20 facilities worldwide from its Headquarters in Norfolk, VA.

In 2010, NDTA and NOLSC co-hosted their 9th Symposium.  This Symposium was grounded on events originally offered through NAVTRANS, the NOLSC predecessor command.

The NDTA Expo is held in conjunction with the Symposium. Educational sessions and workshops and keynote remarks are also a part of the event.
