McAlester Army Ammunition Plant (MCAAP) was originally commissioned
as a naval ammunition depot in May of 1943. The plant was transferred
to the Army in May of 1977 under the Single Manager for Conventional
Ammunition and became the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. Our workforce
is comprised of nearly 1,500 employees assigned to ammunition production,
storage and demiltarization operations along with various support
functions. In 1999, the Red River Munitions Center (RRMC) in northeastern
Texas joined MCAAP and has been fully integrated as a part of Team
McAlester.
Located on 45,000 acres in southeastern Oklahoma, MCAAP is centrally
located in the United States with access by major highway, railway,
and waterway. MCAAP has six ammunition production, maintenance and
renovation complexes and is a major ammunition storage site for
all bra nches
of the Armed Forces, with nearly 2,300 storage magazines and six
million square feet of covered explosive storage space. It is the
Defense Department's largest explosive storage facility. MCAAP has
a proud history of meeting the munitions needs of our customers
- America's Armed Forces - through war and peace for over 60 years.
Team McAlester has but one goal, "a total commitment to ammunition
and missile readiness with our focus on the Warfighter".
Our focus is on our core competencies - bomb production (Group
Technology Center), ammunition and missile maintenance and renovation,
storage/distribution, and demilitarization of obsolete or unserviceable
ammunition. Team McAlester is one of the Joint Munitions Command's
key power projection platforms. As the nation's premier bomb manufacturing,
and ammunition and missile maintenance facility, we partner with
commercial industry to expand our capabilities and strengthen our
position within the Department of Defense.
Our non-negotiable contract with the American people is to provide
goods and services to ensure the warfighter is persuasive in peace
and invincible in war. Team McAlester will fully support the Commanding
General, U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, by "Transforming
INDUSTRIAL POWER into MILITARY READINESS".
