WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. -- In this Army newsletter called The Salvo is a gathering of key stories and photos that capture some of the action at the Army's manufacturing center at Watervliet, New York. The Arsenal has been in continuous operation supporting our troops since the War of 1812, and it still loves to tell its story.
The lead story is about the Arsenal "going live" with the Army's Logistics Modernization Program or LMP.
The Watervliet Arsenal is an Army-owned-and-operated manufacturing facility and is the oldest, continuously active arsenal in the United States having begun operations during the War of 1812. It celebrated its 200th anniversary on July 14, 2013. It is a subordinate command to TACOM LCMC and the Army Materiel Command.
Today's Arsenal is relied upon by U.S. and foreign militaries to produce the most advanced, high-tech, high-powered weaponry for cannon, howitzer, and mortar systems. This National Historic Registered Landmark had revenue in fiscal year 2015 that exceeded $138 million and provides an annual economic benefit to the local community in excess of $100 million.
