Background Information

Red River Army Depot (RRAD) is located on 18,316 acres of land in Bowie County, Texas, approximately 18 miles west of Texarkana and is adjacent to Hooks, Texas (population 2,684) and New Boston, Texas (population 5,057).Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant is adjacent to RRAD to the east. In July 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission recommended realigning RRAD by moving all maintenance missions associated with the M113 Tactical Vehicle Series to other depot maintenance activities. 765 acres were originally designated for transfer to the Red River Redevelopment Authority (RRRA). The water treatment plant, industrial waste treatment plant, sewer treatment plant and high voltage electrical distribution system were privatized through BRAC in 2001 adding an additional 32 acres. Of the total 797 acres, approximately 104 acres remain to be transferred.
