Throughout the 1990s the agency continued its effort to eliminate managerial and stockage duplication, reducing overhead costs. In April 1990 Secretary Cheney directed that all the distribution depots of the military services and DLA be consolidated into a single, unified materiel distribution system to reduce overhead and costs and designated DLA to manage it. The consolidation began in October 1990 and was completed March 16, 1992. The system consisted of 30 depots at 32 sites with 62 storage locations, which stored over 8.7 million spare parts, subsistence, and other consumable items worth $127 billion in 788 million square feet (73 km²) of storage. Until September 1997, two regional offices—Defense Distribution Region East (DDRE) in [[New Cumberland, Pennsylvania]], and Defense Distribution Region West (DDRW) in [[Stockton, California]], managed a vast network of distribution depots within their respective geographic boundaries. They later merged into [[Defense Distribution Center, New Cumberland]]. | Throughout the 1990s the agency continued its effort to eliminate managerial and stockage duplication, reducing overhead costs.
