ARMY TRANSFERS COMMAND CONTROL OF ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, WATERVLIET ARSENAL, AND SIERRA ARMY DEPOT
The Army recently transferred the command and control of Rock Island Arsenal (RIA), Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) and Sierra Army Depot (SIAD) to the U. S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM). The realignment transferred these functions from the Operations Support Command (OSC) to TACOM. Both TACOM and OSC are major subordinate commands of the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC).
The realignment consolidated all of AMC's organic ground equipment support capabilities under one command, TACOM. By combining the RIA, WVA, and SIAD manufacturing and repair capabilities into a single TACOM business activity, it makes it easier for customers to access services and it reduces costs. The transfer also enables AMC to leverage the capabilities of all installations in the ground systems sector. This realignment did not affect the workload and personnel strength of each arsenal.
