Red River Army Depot

Building it as if our lives depend on it...theirs do!

WELCOME TO THE NATION’S PREMIER MAINTENANCE DEPOT

Established in 1941 as an ammunition facility, Red River Army Depot (RRAD) quickly evolved to meet the demands of World War II, expanding its mission to include general supply storage and armored vehicle repair. Today, RRAD stands as a cornerstone of the Army’s Organic Industrial Base, delivering world-class sustainment and maintenance operations that keep our Joint Forces mission ready.

OUR STRATEGIC FOOTPRINT

MISSION-DRIVEN EXCELLENCE
Our mission is clear: Sustain the Warfighter’s combat power by providing expert-level support for ground combat and tactical systems. From the production of M1 roadwheels to the remanufacture of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, our skilled workforce delivers unmatched capability across a wide spectrum of operations.
