HISTORY
Anniston Ordnance Depot was established in 1941. In 1952, the depot was assigned a maintenance mission for the
overhaul and repair of combat vehicles. In 1962, the installation was renamed Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) and
became part of the Army Materiel Command (AMC). In 1998, operational control of ANAD was transferred to
Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM). At the same time, the ammunition mission and resources were
renamed the Anniston Munitions Center. ANMC became a tenant of ANAD and officially came under the full command
and control of Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) in Richmond, Ky. ANMC received its first on-site commander in 2004,
and remains an integral part of the JMC munitions enterprise. ANMC is a Government-Owned, Government-Operated
(GOGO) facility.
