__TOC__
== About==
Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is a United States Army post located adjacent to the city of Huntsville in Madison County, Alabama. The Arsenal is the center of testing, development, and doctrine for the Army's missile programs, and is home to approximately 800 active duty soldiers and 40,000 plus civilian and contract employees. Redstone is a garrison for various tenants across the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and NASA. In addition, the campus hosts over 400 employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The military installation was originally composed of three separate entities: the Huntsville Arsenal and the Huntsville Depot (later the Gulf Chemical Warfare Depot), which were operated under the auspices of the Chemical Warfare Service; and the Redstone Ordnance Plant, operated by the Army Ordnance Department. Important Redstone Arsenal units and missions include: 
* US Army Aviation and Missile Command

== Department Profile ==
Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), structure and wildlife firefighting, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazmat services, fire prevention and inspection for Redstone Arsenal is provided by the Redstone Arsenal Fire and Emergency Services Division, comprised of 59 Department of Defense career civilian firefighters.  
== History ==
The original arsenal combined two adjoining arsenals into one post in 1941 to make conventional ammunition and toxic chemicals during World War II. Redstone was first designated the home of Army missiles in 1948. It dropped from a peak WW II employment of more than 19,000 to a little-used post of a few hundred workers. Because of the large available space, empty buildings, and ease of access to rail, highway, and water traffic, the Army chose Redstone as the place to consolidate its newly formed rocket program. Redstone Arsenal has served for 50 + years as the Army's center for missile and rocket programs.
