From Fan Made Fallout Development Wiki

Red River are a military organisation. Ultimately they want to discover who is behind the attacks on their Crimson Corridor caravans (it is of course, the Super Mutants), find out why they are being attacked and stop them. They will want the SM's destroyed unless the PC can convince them otherwise. They don't see Vault 31 as a threat so will want peace with them. They'd need proof from the SM's and a high speech skill in order to make peace with the SM's.

What Red River wants: A)Prevent Mutants from gaining access to energy weapons

B)Find a source of trading for tesla armors (Vault 31 has this armor) or the blue-prints of tesla armor so they can build tesla armor themselves. They don't really need energy weapons themselves(they have access to gauss and big guns weapons ) so their top priority is to stop their enemies from using energy guns against red river

RED RIVER ARMY DEPOT. The Red River Army Depot, also known as the Red River Ordnance Depot, was activated in August 1941 following government purchase of 116 farms and ranches just west of Texarkana. The base includes fifty square miles and approximately 1,400 buildings and structures. Its mission is to receive, store, and issue gun-motor carriages, ammunition, explosives, supplies, and equipment for combat vehicles and various types of demolition equipment and supplies for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The depot also serves as a major army maintenance point for rebuilding combat and general-purpose vehicles and other types of military ordnance.

Construction of the depot was initially hampered by housing shortages and lack of equipment, but final construction was permanent. The depot was consolidated with the Lone Star Ordnance Plant to form the Texarkana Ordnance Center in April 1943. From its activation through December 31, 1945, 2,482,189,387 pounds of material was received and 1,539,954,000 pounds of material was shipped. In the early 1990s the base had a small number of military personnel and some 4,300 civil service employees.

The Red River Army Depot, also known as the Red River Ordnance Depot, was activated in 1941 as an ammunition storage site. In July 1995, the BRAC Commission recommended realigning Red River Army Depot by moving all maintenance missions, except for those related to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Series, to other depot maintenance activities. The installation retained its ammunition storage mission, intern training center, civilian training, and rubber production facilities. Part of the TACOM family since 1998, today Red River provides depot maintenance for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Multiple Launch Rocket System, and Combat Tactical Wheeled Vehicles. Its electronics repair facility supports the Bradley, Multiple Launch Rocket System, and a variety of missile support and aircraft armament subsystems. The depot is also the worldwide center for Patriot and Hawk missile re-certification.

In 1995, RRAD was taken off the Base Realignment and Closure Commission after seven of the eight commissioners decided that it was essential for military readiness. Red River was saved because it is modern, well-maintained facility with dedicated and efficient employees. Red River has many advantages over other depots including newer infrastructure and facilities; a close proximity to Fort Hood, the largest military base in the country; and a central location, which provides timely and efficient logistics support to major Army customers throughout the Continental United States. Importantly, Red River has recently improved its capacity utilization and implemented many efficiencies. These initiatives have resulted in RRAD becoming one of the most cost effective and productive military depots in the Army. In 1998, 1999, and 2000, RRAD successfully executed its workload and finished the year above the financial plan.

The Red River Army Depot (RRAD) is located approximately 18 miles west of Texarkana, Texas, in the northeast corner of Texas in central Bowie County. The RRAD shares a common border with the government-owned and contractor-operated Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant (LSAAP), which is located adjacent to and east of RRAD. Population served: 1,300 soldiers, dependents, and civilian employees. Total defense complex population is 2,500 including tenant activities. Size: Over 18,000 acres and 523,000 square feet of production space. The depot reservation of over 36,000 acres makes it one of the U. S. Army Materiel Command's largest supply and maintenance installations.

Three principal highways, Interstate 30, U.S. Highway 67, and U.S. Highway 82 provide access to RRAD. The installation is within 200 miles of Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas; Shreveport, Louisiana; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. RRAD encompasses 18,446 acres of land that contains mostly semi-improved acreage in pine and hardwood forests. Improved areas include approximately 1,400 buildings consisting of ammunition igloos, standard magazines, warehouses, administrative offices, a supply-training center, a light track overhaul facility, a central distribution center, and demolition facilities. Two man-made lakes, Caney Creek Reservoir and Elliot Creek Reservoir, are located within RRAD and supply installation drinking water. RRAD also has two active and two inactive small arms firing ranges.

RRAD was established in 1941 through the acquisition of farmland and residential areas to create an ammunition storage facility. Construction of the depot was initially hampered by housing shortages and lack of equipment, but final construction was permanent. Red River was originally intended only as an ammunition storage depot. However, no sooner had the first train loads of ammunition begun to arrive, that the demands of World War II caused top defense planners to take another look at the new installation. A good labor market, excellent transportation facilities and the installation's nearness to the great southwestern training areas and southern ports were reason enough to expand the depot mission. Construction of modern maintenance and storage facilities was completed in record time and Red River was soon in the business of storing and repairing all types of ordnance material - from tanks to wrist watches. By 1943 the depot's mission had expanded to include general supply storage, tank repair and an ordnance-training center. The ordnance training center trained thousands of ordnance soldiers before finally closing in 1955.

Most of the land at RRAD is currently used for ammunition storage and associated quantity-distance (QD) safety zones. As part of the U.S. Army Industrial Operations Command, RRAD has also been a major depot-level support facility for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of major weapon systems and components. The RRAD has been the Center of Technical Excellence for overhaul of light and medium weapon systems including the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Series, Multiple Rocket Launcher System, Fire Support Team Vehicle, M9 Armored Combat Earthmover, and M113 Armored Personnel Carrier family of vehicles. The installation has also stored, shipped, and maintained conventional ammunition and various types of missiles. Tenant organizations that have used RRAD’s facilities include the Defense Distribution Depot Red River, U.S. Material Command School of Engineering and Logistics, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office.

The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission recommended the realignment of Red River Army Depot. The RRAD realignment recommendation included the movement of all maintenance missions, except for that related to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Series (BFVS), to other depot maintenance activities, including the private sector. The Secretary of the Army made the decision that all maintenance missions, except BFVS and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), would be relocated to Anniston Army Depot (ANAD), Anniston, AL. The Army also proposed the relocation of the associated non-BFVS/MLRS maintenance mission support from Defense Distribution Depot Red River, Texas (DDRT), to Defense Distribution Depot Anniston, Alabama (DDAA).

The depot has obtained ISO9002 registration for both its mission areas and is working toward registration for the administrative areas. This association with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a worldwide federation of national standard bodies from some 130 countries, sets RRAD apart from any other military installation and provides an edge in future competitions. As of mid-2001 Red River Army Depot is the only depot in the Army that has its entire mission area ISO registered.

Throughout the years, the depot's missions have been expanded, and today Red River is engaged in activities ranging in scope from producing timber to conducting research and development for a number of items used in the rebuilding of combat vehicles. RRAD is also deeply involved in civilian training programs. It is the site of Army Material Command's Intern Training Center.

In October 1991, the distribution mission of the depot was transferred to Defense Distribution Region Central (DDRC), creating Defense Distribution Depot Red River, TX (DDRT). In February 1993, DDRT transferred to Defense Distribution Region West (DDRW) when DDRC was disestablished. As of October 1997, with the disestablishment of DDRW, DDRT became one of 22 Defense Distribution Center (DDC) depots.

The Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Operations Center at the Defense Distribution Depot Red River, Texas, opened 08 February 2000. The new DOC is located on the grounds of the Red River Army Depot, Texas. The new facility is 680,000 square feet comprised of 280,000 sq. ft. of operations space, 360,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space, and 40,000 sq. ft. of administrative space. The DOC has almost one mile of conveyor, .7 miles of towline and 250 carts, a sortation system of 130 carriers and 64 chutes, 51 shipping and receiving cargo doors, and staging for 100 truck trailers. Approximately 600 of DDRT’s 800 personnel work in the new facility. There are only two or three places like this in the United States. This is one of the crown jewels in the defense distribution system.

DDRT, one of the 22 DDC depots, provides distribution support of repair parts for tracked and wheeled vehicles, and aircraft and weapons systems owned by DLA and by the military services. Distribution support is also provided for major end items to include: light tracked combat vehicles, primarily the Bradley Infantry Vehicles; wheeled vehicles and trailers; and communication and maintenance shelters. DDRT stores 112,136 items valued at $5.5 billion in 205 warehouses on the grounds of the Red River Army Depot.

Not only is DDRT the storage site for the vehicles, it also builds and maintains a kits of basic items that accompany the vehicles when shipped to Army units in the field. These kits contain such things as spare parts, tools, technical publications and diagnostic equipment needed for minor maintenance and to keep a particular item up and running until fully operational systems are in place.

DDRT is the sole distribution point for the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System. This system being fielded throughout the Army links communications between wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles, helicopters and soldiers on foot. DDRT also assembles the SINCGARS kits for fielding units.
