As it turns out, there is no secret to the decades-long evolution of the US military as an integral force in the global network.

Opened in 1918, Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) has undergone 14 name changes on its way to becoming a major logistics center that provides weapons systems and platform support to the U.S. military and federal agencies. It may also be the Whitehall's largest employer, with about 8,000 employees and an annual payroll of $400 million.

Here are some interesting facts and history about Defense Supply Center Columbus, located at 3990 E. Broad St.

Perhaps the most prominent of these is the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) with its land and maritime supply chain headquarters. Land and Sea maintain more than 1 million unique inventory parts to support several thousand multi-service weapons systems and the military members who depend on them, Jones said.

Among other tenants, the base also houses the Ohio Army National Guard, USA. Army Reserve and Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Department of Defense which oversees payments to service members, employees, suppliers and contractors.

Since World War I, the Post Office has played a vital role in supporting US military operations and providing services during every major military conflict.

United States. Army Quartermaster Corps According to the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime Public Affairs Office, the government purchased a 281-acre parcel of land in April 1918 for military installations.

Although located in unspoilt marshland and farmland, the location was convenient as it provided immediate access to three important rail lines. Equally valuable was land located near the center of the city of Columbus, within 500 miles of most of the nation's manufacturing centers where military supplies and equipment were produced.

During World War I, the site's mission was to send goods for transport overseas, but the first shipments arriving at the post were not needed for the war. It was canned pork and beans

This is because, according to DLA, the base was primarily responsible for managing military food during World War I.

Over the years, the facility evolved into one of the largest and busiest installations in the world - feeding, clothing, and supplying military and furniture vehicles. The base operated schools for more than 70 trades and purchased the Army's horses and mules

"Going back to all these wars and conflicts, Whitehall has been a part of it all," Jones said. "But in Whitehall, the DSCC here has evolved from the original supply chain work."

In 1833, sericulture specialists worked at the facility to extract silk from black widow spiders. Because of silk's durability, repair technicians used the material in gun sights and compasses, according to the DLA.

"Suffice it to say, they figured out a way to use spider webs to increase the durability of (the device)," Jones said. "It was really to reinforce the glass and all the applications for the military and make it more bulletproof and stable," he said.

The shop for harvesting silk from black widow spiders was the only one of its kind in the Quartermaster Corps. Improvements in synthetic fibers have made them obsolete

During World War II, the center became the largest military supply facility in the world. And toward the end of the war, there were more than 500 German prisoners of war in military facilities.

Warehouses at the facility were converted into secure barracks where prisoners lived and were guarded by 58 staff, most of them ex-servicemen.

During their stay, which began in January 1945, POWs worked under the Geneva Conventions and were paid 84 cents a day. In January 1946, the prisoners traveled to Camp Perry in northern Ohio before traveling to Germany.

On September 16, 2014, Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime Resolution Specialist Supervisor Stephen F. Bice became the first American civilian to die in the Afghanistan war when his two-vehicle convoy was detonated by a suicide bomber.

Bais, who was a junior lieutenant with the U.S. Navy Reserve but had not been commissioned at the time of his death, was deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan in July 2014 to help the Afghan army equip itself and learn how to navigate the countryside. According to coverage, Grace Bayes died in Columbus at age 39, leaving behind a wife and two young children.

Army Maj. Michael J. Donahue, 41, of Columbus, was also killed in the attack, according to the Military Times.

Jones said it is common for civilian DLA specialists to deploy in combat zones alongside military members. "We are trying to have some foreign presence there to be able to react quickly," he said.

In 2016, a building in the Defense Supply Center Columbus that opened in 2013 and was named the Stephen F. Byes Community Center was dedicated.
