Pueblo Depot Activity
The Pueblo Depot Activity, formerly know as Pueblo Army Depot, is a military facility originally used to store and supply ammunition for the U.S. Army. Responsibility for the depot fell upon the Army Ordnance Corp. The mission quickly expanded to include general supplies as well. It is a 24,202 acre site located 14 miles east of Pueblo, Colorado. In 1945 they began to receive mass amounts of equipment returning from the combat theaters of WWII. In 1945 the mission expanded yet again to include the maintenance and refurbishing of artillery, fire control, and optical material. In 1951 the depot assumed responsibility to distribute Air Force ammunition for an eight-state area as well as storage of strategic and critical materials for the General Services Administration (GSA). They were also tasked to rebuild and provide on-site maintenance support for guided missiles, insure calibration and maintenance of electronic test equipment and radio-controlled aerial targets, and provide specialized training for new Army equipment.[1] The Pueblo Army Depot was redesignated as Pueblo Depot Activity in 1974.]][2]
