ABSTRACT

Store ammunition, renovation and demolition of conventional munitions, repair and storage of missile systems, receipt and shipment of stock to customers throughout the world; monitors and certifies the readiness of Hawk and Patriot missiles. Rebuild and refurbish multi-million dollar Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems. The role of the military is changing. Due to major upheavals in the world, the US military has become a smaller, better equipped, more mobile force. The 55-square-mile Red River Defense Complex supports the new military. It accomplishes this by being a highly responsive and totally integrated logistics power projection platform, capable of rapid and sustained support to America’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and allied forces worldwide. In addition to a large base operations area, Red River has major mission areas. Red River is also the home for the Missile Recertification Directorate, a separate specialized activity that monitors and certifies the readiness of Hawk and Patriot missiles.
