Load Out For Sioux Is Mapped
A program to systematically load out ammunition and materials from Sioux Army Depot runs for twelve quarters from July 1, 1964 through June 30, 1967. Regular staff of about 600 will handle initial phases, with temporary hires likely later to meet the schedule. The plan shifts Sioux personnel to other federal jobs, as ammunition destined for ten depots nationwide will boost rail and truck traffic and mark the depot’s heaviest workload since the Korean War era.
