History

The original arsenal combined two adjoining arsenals into one post in 1941 to make conventional
ammunition and toxic chemicals during World War II. Redstone was first designated the home of Army
missiles in 1948. It 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 50 + years as the Army's center for missile and rocket
programs. Scavengers, independent operators , mercenaries and other organizations have realized that
it is cheaper to simply modify the explosive mix of warheads and to weld a few plates of M.D. armor to an
antiquated vehicle than to build such machines from scratch. The same is true of alien S.D.C. vehicles from
other dimensions.

Territories

Redstone Arsenal's 38,248 acres are bordered by Huntsville, Alabama, on the north and east with the
Tennessee River forming Redstone's southern boundary. The arsenal itself is ten miles from north to south
and three miles from west to east. They are the rebuilt, pre-cataclysm cities of Huntsville, Decatur, and
Guntersville along the Tennessee River. The latter two locations are right off the river and have
rebuilt hydroelectric power plants. There are several farms, cattle ranches, and villages surrounding it.

Redstone Arsenal has approximately 48,000 active soldiers.
