Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in
northeast Alabama, Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) occupies over 25
square miles of land in the southeastern United States. ANAD
is located between two major cities, Atlanta, GA, 90 miles to
the east on Interstate 20 and Birmingham, AL, 60 miles west on
Interstate 20. Possibly the nation's most diversified defense
resource, ANAD offers scenic splendor as well as unlimited
natural resources. The base operator's phone number is (256)
235-7445.
History
Over the past half century, Anniston Army Depot has
transitioned from forested depot to a high-density industrial
complex while hosting a plethora of diverse and wide-ranging
missions. Since its origin in 1942 as a storage depot, ANAD
has been transformed into a state-of-the-market maintenance
facility, earning its highly-esteemed reputation as "The Tank
Rebuild Center of the World." Broadly diversified skills are
deep-rooted at Anniston and our success is attributable to the
teaming of our highly skilled workforce with a strong
management support structure. Our workforce, armed with
state-of-the-art equipment and technology, invites the
challenge of any new work effort with the renowned
"Anniston can do it" attitude.
Mission
Anniston Army Depot, a part of the U.S. Army Tank Automotive
and Armaments Command, is the only Army depot capable of
performing maintenance on both heavy and light-tracked combat
vehicles and their components. The depot is designated as the
Center of Technical Excellence for the M1 Abrams Tank and is
the designated candidate depot for the repair of the M60, AVLB,
M728 and M88 combat vehicles. ANAD has assumed responsibility
for towed and self-propelled artillery as well as the M113
Family of Vehicles. Under partnership agreements, a wide range
of vehicle conversions and upgrades are currently underway.
The depot also performs maintenance on individual and
crew-served weapons as well as land combat missiles and small
arms. Additionally, the maintenance and storage of
conventional ammunition and missiles, as well as the storage
of seven percent of the nation's chemical munitions stockpile,
are significant parts of the depot's overall missions and
capabilities.
