To conduct testing, ATC employs 1,400 civilians, military, and contractors. Certified support in calibration, heavy equipment operation, and level 1 radiology is also available. Relatively flat to hilly cross-country terrain varies from sea level to an elevation of 60 feet. With the only temperate climate test facility in the Army, the variations in weather, terrain, and vegetation at this single location provide the capability to conduct a major portion of the Army's spectrum of technical testing. U.S. commercial customers will be charged direct costs and may be charged overhead costs, as determined by the commander of ATC or his designee.
Overhead costs are to be funded by the responsible defense agency.
