History: For over 50 years, Tooele Army Depot has committed itself to supporting the soldier in times of peace and war. In its infancy, it served this nation when the free world struggled and witnessed the final victory during World War II. A few years later, it helped sustain our troops, and those of the United Nations, in the stemming of the onslaught of communism upon the country of Korea. Shortly after its 25th anniversary, Tooele Army Depot saw itself supporting our military men and women who were called upon to serve during the Vietnam War. More recently, the depot answered the call twice again to provide our troops the means of victory in the country of Panama and the harsh deserts of the Persian Gulf during operations of Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
