ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- The U.S. Army Materiel Command took over the social media platforms for the U.S. Army March 12-16, using the platforms and audience to increase awareness of AMC’s role in Army readiness.
As part of the week-long takeover, Anniston Army Depot was highlighted March 14 in two videos - one on AMC’s Facebook page and another on the Army’s Facebook page.
At 9 a.m. that day, AMC was scheduled to go live on their page from ANAD’s Small Arms Repair Facility with Paul Barber, chief of the depot’s Weapons Division.
Technical issues prevented the live broadcast, but a high definition version was uploaded later that day.
At about 2 p.m., Lavon Stephens and Reggie Henry, chiefs for the Tracked Systems and Final Operations divisions, respectively, were live on the Army’s Facebook page.
Megan Gully, a public affairs specialist with AMC, was behind the camera during both videos, capturing the processes and products ANAD supplies to war fighters and allies.
As of the morning of March 21, the small arms video had more than 44,000 views and the test track video had more than 74,000.
From Soldiers’ boots to the weapons they shoot, AMC is the complex global supply chain which stands behind America’s fighting force, ensuring the Soldier has the equipment needed when it is needed and where it is needed.
“You cannot have Army readiness without materiel readiness,” said Gen. Gus Perna, the Army’s senior logistician and AMC’s commanding general. “Soldiers cannot win on the battlefield without weapons to shoot, tanks to maneuver, food to eat and the logistics support to ensure those provisions are in place when they are needed.”
In addition to the Facebook Live events at ANAD, AMC contributed content highlighting its depots and arsenals on the Army’s Instagram, Twitter and YouTube sites.
