BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends Alabama Army Ammunition Plant for closure. The military value of the installation is lower than other installations in the same
category, primarily because it has been in an inactive status since 1954, pending disposal. No capability to manufacture propellants and explosives remains at Alabama due to the fact that
all production equipment has been removed. No mission or tenants need to be relocated.
Property Description: Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (ALAAP) was located in northeastern Alabama (Talladega County), approximately 40 miles east-southeast of Birmingham
and 70 miles north of Montgomery, the state capital. The nearest town is Childersburg, AL, four miles south of ALAAP. Originally called Alabama Ordnance Works, the site initially consisted
of 13,233 acres near the junction of Talladega Creek and the Coosa River. Most of the original structures have been demolished, and much of the site consists of paved roads, logging roads,
railroad tracks, and bridges.
