Acting Army Secretary Adam Telle visits Anniston Army Depot

Acting U.S. Army Secretary Adam Telle toured the Anniston Army Depot on Monday alongside U.S. Representative Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. The visit highlighted the facility's role as a critical maintenance center and munitions storage site for national defense.

Telle described the depot as a cornerstone of the Army’s industrial base, noting that employees sustain soldiers by modernizing and maintaining military vehicles and equipment.
