Employment at Redstone
Arsenal
It takes a lot of people
to fulfill a mission as broad as Redstone's. This installation performs
weapons system research and development, places those missiles and
aviation systems with the proper military troops, and supports those in
our military who use the weapons systems.
This means the various
agencies located at Redstone Arsenal are constantly hiring qualified
military and civilian personnel from administrative staff to rocket
scientists.

BRAC Funding
Since 2005, Redstone
Arsenal has been the recipient of BRAC funding and personnel infusions
which have allowed for expansions in many areas. This began in 2007 and
will continue until 2011. In addition to being good for the installation
itself, BRAC has also benefited the surrounding community of Huntsville,
Alabama.
Unlike other areas of the
nation, housing is still in demand and spending continues. In fact,
Huntsville repeatedly has won awards for being a wonderful place to live
and work. Most recently, Huntsville was named on Kiplinger's 2009 Best
Cities list. According to the Kiplinger website, the list "focuses on
places that have stable employment plus the talent to create new,
well-paying positions. A robust job market makes these cities safe
havens during the recession and will give them a head start toward
growth when the recovery takes off."
