United States Army Aviation and Missile Command

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) is a United States Army command, managing the logistics and repair support of Army aviation, missile, and unmanned systems. It is a "major subordinate command" of Army Materiel Command. Aviation and Missile Command is headquartered at Redstone Arsenal, in Huntsville, Alabama.

In 2019, the command's budget was $3.7 billion, and it maintained a global workforce of 15,000 military and civilian employees. Its installations include: Corpus Christi Army Depot, Letterkenny Army Depot, and the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

AMCOM is the leader in Foreign Military Sales, accounting for over 50 percent of total Army sales to allied forces and friendly foreign nations.[citation needed]

AMCOM's Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) Activity provides worldwide command and control over a broad metrology and calibration program.

AMCOM works closely with the DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC), which operates simulation facilities to evaluate missile components, such as seekers, in a variety of flight environments. AMCOM also has access to several wind tunnels to test full-size helicopters, a vertical motion simulator for flight control evaluation and a crash-testing tower used to improve safety.

AMCOM's main organizations are organized into centers:

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command is a LCMC. Thus it has an associated contracting center. This LCMC, Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, was formerly Aviation and Missile Command.[further explanation needed] This LCMC purchases about $1 billion worth of aircraft and missile parts each year.
