In celebration of the role Redstone Arsenal plays in the defense of our nation and the economic impact it has on our region, the Chamber hosts a series of Armed Forced Celebration events in June. The Armed Forces Celebration Luncheon is the Chamber’s signature event of the week-long celebration.
Redstone is the home of the Army Material Command and a dozen other Army Commands and Offices, as well as offices for the Space Command, the Missile Defense Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Over 46,000 people work on Redstone and more than $50 billion in federal budgets are managed on the base. Redstone Arsenal and the combined federal sector account for over half of the local economy.
