The Red River Army Depot (RRAD) is an 15,835-acre (64.08 km 2 ) facility located 18 miles (29 km ) west of Texarkana , Texas in Bowie County . The facility has over 3,000,000 square feet (280,000 m 2 ) of storage capacity.[1] RRAD was activated in 1941 to create an ammunition storage facility. The depot was supposed to be deactivated after the findings of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission . However, the depot remained open after the commission changed its mind.[2] The depot was once again slated for closure upon recommendation from the 2005 BRAC commission, but has remained open to provide maintenance support for the army.[3] The depot's primary mission is the maintenance and repair of all Tactical Wheeled Vehicles, which includes repairing MRAPs and HUMVEEs .[4] Letterkenny Army Depot took over some of RRAD's missile systems.[5]
Downsizing
In February 2013 the depot began rounds of layoffs with target of 10% of the current workforce of 4000.[6]
