From its origin in 1942 as a storage depot, Anniston Army Depot has transformed into a state-of-the-market maintenance facility, earning reputation as "The Tank Rebuild Center of the World."
Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) occupies over 25 square miles of land in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in northeast Alabama. Located between Atlanta, GA, 90 miles to the east on Interstate 20 and Birmingham, AL, 60 miles west on Interstate 20. With more than 15,246 acres of woodland and 10 acres of lakes and streams ANAD is one of the nation's most diversified defense sites offering scenic majesty as well as unlimited natural resources.
Anniston Army Depot is the only Army depot capable of performing maintenance on both heavy and light-tracked combat vehicles and their components. ANAD personnel are deployed around the world in direct support of our nation's war fighters providing fielding services and repairs in the field. Combat and battle damage repairs are currently being accomplished both at home and abroad. The depot also performs maintenance on individual and crew-served weapons as well as land combat missiles and small arms. The maintenance and storage of conventional ammunition and missiles, as well as the storage of seven percent of the Nation's chemical munitions stockpile until the stockpile is demilitarized, are significant parts of the depot's overall missions and capabilities.
