You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sierra Army Depot''' ('''SIAD''') is a [[United States Army]] post and military equipment storage facility located near the unincorporated community of [[Herlong, California]]. It was built in 1942 as one of several ammunition storage facilities located far enough inland to be safe from Japanese attack, yet close enough to western military posts and ports to facilitate shipment of supplies.<ref>((cite web |title=History |url=https://www.sierra.army.mil/history.html |website=Sierra Army Depot |publisher=U.S. Army |accessdate=23 April 2020))</ref> The site also met the requirement that the depot be in a dry and isolated area.

==Introduction==
[[File:M113 and M60 tanks, Long-Term Storage section of Sierra Army Depot.png|thumb|The Long-Term Storage section of Sierra Army Depot. Hundreds of M113 variants seem to stretch to the horizon. In the foreground are [[M60 tank|M60 main battle tanks]].]]
Designated as a Center for Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) for all Petroleum and Water Systems, and Operational Project Stocks, Sierra Army Depot (SIAD) provides a unique readiness platform to the Total Army and Joint Force. SIAD performs a wide variety of long-term logistics and sustainment missions, ranging from equipment receipt and asset visibility to long-term care, storage and sustainment, to repair/reset of all Army fuel and water systems.

The depot is a subordinate of US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), offers an enterprise-wide competitive solution to logistics challenges, and fills a critical void in material and equipment management nearing the end of its first life. These unique operations provide readiness and operational value to the Department of Defense through the management and controlled redistribution of this equipment.

SIAD is highly experienced with equipment reset, new assembly/kitting operations, training operations, maintaining operational project stocks, and a redistribution mission for Class VII and Class IX items. It has established an End-of-First Life Center for combat and non-combat vehicles.

SIAD supports similar functions for Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment (OCIE) and Central Management Office (CMO) to receive, identify, classify, receipt/record clothing for multiple agencies such as the Program Execution Office, the CMO, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the US Air Force.

The depot can process "excess" OCIE from these agencies and various Central Issue Facilities (CIFs) as well as returned items from Southwest Asia, including posts, camps and stations. These capabilities have enabled the depot to become a consolidation and distribution center for the CMO, supporting brigade-level OCIE reset operations and the US Army Reserve CIF. The depot also repairs defective ESAPI plates at considerable cost savings to the Army.

The depot is the primary storage site of equipment used to build [[Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor]]s. It houses over 30,000 fittings, jigs, and other tooling related to the production and maintenance of the F-22 for the planes still in service and for any possible future needs.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fighter-usa-lockheed-idUSTRE7BC09T20111213|title=U.S. to mothball gear to build top F-22 fighter|publisher=Reuters|author=Jim Wolf|date=December 12, 2011|accessdate=July 29, 2020))</ref>

The depot and [[Anniston Army Depot]] will be the storage sites of the [[US Marine Corps]]' inventory of M1 Abrams tanks as well as other armored equipment as part of [[Commandant of the United States Marine Corps|USMC Commandant]] Gen. [[David H. Berger]]'s planning guidance "Force Design 2030".<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/35198/the-last-tank-has-left-marine-corps-base-29-palms-soon-the-entire-service|title=The Last Tank Has Left Marine Corps Base 29 Palms, Soon The Entire Service|author=Joseph Trevithick|publisher=The Drive|date=July 29, 2020|accessdate=July 29, 2020))</ref> The last tanks left for the depot from the U.S. Marine Corps' base at [[Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms|29 Palms]] in California in July 2020.

==Capabilities and mission execution==

==Industrial skills and facilities==

With more than 1,000 structures, SIAD'S buildings include igloos, warehouses, and maintenance buildings.

Containerization and assembly: The depot's kitting and assembly capability includes prototyping configuring, inspection and assessment of returns, replacements, preservation and packaging, equipment testing, containerization, and shipment.

Container rotator: The rotator is used as an efficient way to rotate ISO, TRICON, and MILVAN shipping containers, reducing the total handling time from several hours to 20 minutes, and reducing manpower needs for container logistics support.

End-of-First Life Center: SIAD's combat vehicle End-of-First Life Center includes equipment consolidation surveillance and inspection, prepositioned stock, care of supplies in storage, asset and inventory management, regeneration programs for end items, and subcomponents, upgrades and redistribution, configuration management, kitting and system assembly/disassembly.
