The depot stores, issues, receives, renovates, modifies, maintains and demilitarizes conventional munitions.

[citation needed] Tooele Army Depot originally opened in 1942 during the early phase of U.S. involvement in World War II.

Capabilities of the depot include: engineering; explosives performance testing; logistical support; machining, fabrication, assembly, repair; robotics; non-destructive testing; demilitarization; laser cutting; and Slurry Emulsion Manufacturing Facility.

In 1955 Tooele Army Depot took over the rail equipment repair shop at Hill Air Force Base near Roy, Utah; and the site operated as a satellite of TEAD until 1994.

[citation needed] TEAD is housed on 23,610 acres (95.5 km2) with 1,093 buildings, 902 igloos and storage capacity of 2,483,000 square feet (230,700 m2).
