Dear friends,
Many Capital District residents have answered the call to serve and protect our nation, both at home and abroad. Their service makes us proud whether they wear the uniform of a Soldier or work as a Department of the Army Civilian.
The Arsenal represents nearly 200 years of selfless service and a sense of duty of tens of thousands of local civilians who have answered their call to duty since 1813. From scientist to machinist, when our nation called the Arsenal was there.

No longer a place people drive by, Today's Arsenal, is home to 31 civilian and military tenant organizations. On any given day, more than 1,300 personnel, military and civilian come to work in such places as research laboratories, machine shops, nanotechnology clean rooms, and power generation facilities.

 

Look beyond the 1800s-era buildings that some date back to 1828. Look beyond the hundreds of computer-aided machines in our production bays. Look beyond the rail gantry yard that was in daily use during World War II. When you do that you will see dedication, professionalism, and pride... you will see a Department of the Army Civilian who has answered his or her call to duty
