USIFI, a manufacturing industry in the IFAI, struggled with the decision to stifle employment opportunities in the US manufacturing industry for a long time.


This task began two and a half years ago, when the Defense Logistics Bureau (DLA) announced the Berry amendment, giving an unexpected explanation that military tent could be made up of offshore components.

In 2009, according to the requirements of its members, the US military tent supply chain USIFI sent a letter to defense secretary Robert Gates, explaining the industry's understanding of Berry's compliance, and asked the new Defense Logistics Bureau (DLA) to make a written clarification.


In August 2009, the Defense Logistics Bureau (DLA) strategic takeover leader Nancy Heimbaugh responded and reiterated the position of the Defense Logistics Bureau (DLA). According to the Berry amendment, tent fabrics can only be purchased domestically because tent components have not been used.
