The facilities at Letterkenny are used to conduct maintenance, modification, storage, and demilitarization operations on tactical missiles and ammunition. Its origins are in 1941, when Letterkenny was chosen by the U.S. Department of War to be one of twelve new ordnance depots. On 18 December 1941 the Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, issued the directive to acquire 21,000 acres (85 km²) at Letterkenny for a depot. Letterkenny’s mission would be to reduce the surplus of forthcoming war materiel and to store and ship ammunition, trucks, parts, and other supplies. The first shipment of ammunition arrived by train on 23 September 1942. More than 3 million tons of supplies were moved during World War II. Letterkenny was one of the largest depots of its kind and was called the Springboard of Invasion in 1944. It became a permanent military installation on 1 July 1954. There are two vehicles on display at the Letterkenny Army Depot (source: T. Dinackus).
