Description
The Navajo Ordnance Depot, later known as Camp Navajo, was constructed in 1942 as part of the Protective Mobilization Program, designed to decentralize the storage of munitions. After World War II, the facility remained open and assumed the mission of disposing of out-dated and unserviceable ammunition. Today, it is a multi-service training facility open to all branches of the military and to the Arizona National Guard.
