The NYC-Metro Military Supply Chain Tracker
A sourced, audited database of the 39 companies moving military cargo through the New York and New Jersey region: JFK Airport, Port Newark/Elizabeth, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Last updated September 9, 2026.
Break the Chain maintains an open, continuously-sourced map of the manufacturers, freight forwarders, and carriers that move military cargo through the New York–New Jersey region. Every published entry is tied to an already-published source: investigative reporting, a federal contract record, or a corporate disclosure. We map the supply chain; we do not assert beyond what the sources show.

🔎Methodology
Entries come from a manual audit of public records, investigative reporting, and corporate disclosures. An entry is published only when a researcher can tie it to a source a reader can check. The audit funnel:
- 204 raw rows reviewed
- → 191 distinct companies after de-duplication
- → 39 published once a verifiable, already-published source was confirmed
- 148 were reviewed and not published (insufficient published evidence); 3 remain pending review
Each profile lists the company's role in the supply chain, its New York–metro location, and the sources behind the entry. A company appearing here means it holds a documented contract or logistics role in the chain that the cited sources establish, not a legal conclusion about the company.

✏️Corrections & updates
The audit is ongoing and we correct the record when better sourcing surfaces. Every published entry is tied to an already-published source: a company appears because the cited sources establish a contract or logistics role in the chain, which is not a legal conclusion about the company.
