What is the Joint Munitions Command (JMC)?

JMC is the latest in a series of commands since World War II that have managed the nation's ammunition plants. Since 1973, those commands have been headquartered on Rock Island Arsenal.

Brig. Gen. Richard B. Dix serves as the commanding general of the JMC. The headquarters on Rock Island Arsenal is responsible for munitions production (ammunition plants) and storage (depots) facilities in numerous states.

What does the JMC do?

JMC provides bombs and bullets to America's fighting forces -- all services, all types of conventional ammo from bunker-buster bombs to rifle rounds. JMC manages plants that produce more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition annually and the depots that store the nation's ammunition for training and combat. We are accountable for $30 billion of munitions and missiles.
