Huntsville, Alabama, on the north and east with the Tennessee
River forming Redstone's southern boundary. Huntsville is
located in the northwest area of Alabama. Access to recreation
opportunities and services is easy and convenient in
Huntsville, a town of 171,000. Local attractions will keep
your family busy while you can also enjoy the ease of
traveling to other metropolitan areas such as Birmingham,
Alabama (100 miles), Atlanta, Georgia (246 miles),
Chattanooga, Tennessee (103 miles), Nashville, Tennessee (125
miles), and Memphis, Tennessee (216 miles). The base
operator's phone number is (256) 876-2151 or DSN 312-746-2151.
History
The original arsenal combined two adjoining arsenals into
one post in 1941 to make conventional ammunition and toxic
chemicals during World War II. First designated the home of
Army missiles in 1948, Redstone dropped from a peak WW II
employment of more than 19,000 to a little-used post of a few
hundred workers. Because of the large available space, empty
buildings, and ease of access to rail, highway, and water
traffic, the Army chose Redstone as the place to consolidate
its newly formed rocket program. Redstone Arsenal has served
for more than 50 years as the Army's center for missile and
rocket programs.
Mission
