The Corpus Christi Army Depot

CCAD is the industry leader of depot-level repair and overhaul for helicopters, engines and components for the joint warfighter. As the largest industrial employer in South Texas, we have a local estimated economic impact of nearly $2 billion. We not only restore airframes, engines, and components to like-new condition, we also deploy field teams around the globe to extend expert helicopter support anywhere it's needed when it's needed. CCAD is home to some of the best helicopter maintenance training for military personnel in aeronautical depot maintenance for assignments worldwide and prepares aircraft for overseas shipment. Additionally, the depot is responsible for distribution of overhauled items and for maintaining a mobilization base capable of rapid expansion in the event of a national emergency. From sheet metal mechanics to environmental specialists, nearly 5000 civilian employees and contractors comprise the CCAD team. The depot employs a wide range of expertise with veterans making up nearly half of the workforce. The depot's highly-skilled artisans make the organization an asset to Army aviation and the joint warfighter. CCAD has a critical mission to maintain the Department of Defense's aviation fleet for the next several decades. Our team ensure our nation's warfighters have the best helicopter support for any mission.
