ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Representatives from three local television stations, a local newspaper and the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce toured Anniston Army Depot June 4 to gather images and video for use with later articles and stories.
They also expanded their knowledge of the depot's mission and workforce.
FOX6, ABC33/40, TV24 and The Anniston Star sent reporters, photographers and videographers to the installation.
While on depot, the group visited the spinner hanger, where combat vehicles are stripped of paint and other coatings to the bare metal; the Combat Vehicle Repair Facility, where tanks, Strykers, recovery vehicles and other equipment are disassembled and ultimately reassembled; and the Small Arms Repair Facility, which is responsible for overhaul and repair of all weapons for the Department of Defense.
In addition to viewing parts of the ANAD mission, the news media toured an element of one tenant on the installation - the open burn area for Anniston Munitions Center.
