Crane Army Ammunition Activity inherited the legacy mission of ammunition manufacturing, storage and depot operations from the Navy in 1977 after the Department of Defense established the Army as the single manager for conventional ammunition at the conclusion of the Vietnam War. Pictured here are Crane Navy employees working on a munitions production line in 1942, just one year after Crane Naval Ammunition Depot was established during World War II. Crane Army’s mission is to provide conventional munitions support for U.S. Army and Joint Force readiness. It is one of 17 installations of the Joint Munitions Command and one of 23 organic industrial bases under the U.S. Army Materiel Command, which include arsenals, depots, activities and ammunition plants.
