WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), today announced that the Anniston Army Depot has been designated as a Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) for the Army’s Mobile Protected Firepower program and Booker Combat Vehicle. The Anniston Army Depot was chosen largely due to exceptional facilities, ability to take on the increased workload, and its designation as a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) for most similar ground combat vehicles.

“I am proud to announce the Anniston Army Depot being designated at the new DSOR for this combat vehicle,” said Rep. Rogers. “The Anniston Army Depot is a valued piece of East Alabama and a hub for excellence in ground combat vehicle maintenance. I am glad to see the Army make this designation and I am excited to see the Depot excel with this new assignment that will help secure its vital role in Army sustainment for the future.”

“The assignment of the Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) to Anniston Army Depot for the Mobile Protected Firepower System, which has been named the M10 Booker, is a great step in maintaining the Depot’s Center of Technical Excellence Designation for all Combat Vehicles, except the Bradley; and keeps Anniston positioned to maintain and repair all the legacy and future heavy and light tanks. We worked closely with Congressman Rogers on this and he ensured the correct DSOR designation was made by the Army,” said the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council.
