JMC provides precise and predictive conventional munitions sustainment and life-cycle management to an expeditionary global force from 18 arsenals, depots, and ammunition plants across the spectrum of conflict in support of the Joint Force.
JMC is the latest in a series of commands since World War II that have managed the nation's ammunition plants. Since 1973, those commands have been headquartered on Rock Island Arsenal.
Brigadier General Daniel J. Duncan currently serves as the Commander for the JMC. The headquarters on Rock Island Arsenal is responsible for munitions production (ammunition plants) and storage (depots) facilities in numerous states.
Headquartered at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois, JMC manages a complex munitions enterprise comprised of installations and depots where conventional munitions are produced, stored, distributed and demilitarized.
JMC manages the Army’s munitions industrial base, which is made up of a network of depots, arsenals, munition centers, production plants, and other facilities located across the continental United States. Munitions production, storage, distribution, and demilitarization is performed at facilities across JMC’s network. Seven of the JMC depots and arsenals are Government Owned-Government Operated (GOGO), led and managed locally by Army officers and civilians. The other six are Government Owned-Contractor Operated (GOCO). Operations at the GOCO facilities are performed by private contractors and managed by JMC.
