Milan Ordnance Depot and Wolf Creek Ordnance Plant were established in 1941. In 1943, they merged, becoming Milan Ordnance Center and later Milan Arsenal in 1945. In the 1960s, it became MLAAP.
MLAAP is housed on 22, 357 acres (1.44 km2) with 1,450 buildings and 873 igloos and a storage capacity of 2,270,000 square feet (211,000 m2).
MLAAP will gain the 155 mm artillery and 60 mm, 81 mm, and 120 mm mortar workload from Kansas Army Ammunition Plant. It will also gain the105 mm and 155 mm artillery, Multiple Launch Rocket System and hand grenade, and 60 mm and 80 mm mortar workload from Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant. Both facilities are slated for closure under Base Realignment and Closure 2005.
MLAAP was placed on the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Priority List (Superfund) in 1987.
