Logo History
Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) traces its lineage to Radford Ordnance Works established by the Ordnance Department, under the National Defense Armament Program in anticipation of World War II requirements.
The blue (cobalt) benzene ring represents the chemical nature of our mission, the colors of the Chemical Corps, and our relationship with industry as a Government Owned-Contractor-Operated facility.
The red (crimson) background represents the Ordnance branch colors and our affiliation with the Joint Munitions Command (JMC). Our relationship with Army Materiel Command (AMC) is highlighted by the colors red, white, and blue from the AMC shoulder sleeve insignia.
The crossed 4.2 inch motor tube, Hydra-70 rocket, and the Nike Hercules missile signify our origin in support of WWII, the speed of war, and the power of our role within the munitions industrial base.
The shell and flame symbolize the ordnance mission and the inscription “1941” highlights our establishment.
The gold state of Virginia represents our home and the excellence and achievements of our great workforce.
The blue star represents our location along the New River. The inscription “Radford Army Ammunition Plant” designates who we are and the white lettering represents readiness and our posture for the future.
