Storage Solved in anti-terrorism armory at marine base

A one-of-a-kind readiness force in the global war on terror was created in direct response to 9/11 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. As a new unit with no existing storage equipment, this AT (Anti-Terrorism) Battalion faced the challenge of constructing and outfitting a storage facility to meet their operational needs. Limited space, with two moves anticipated in the future was also an issue.

Spacesaver’s Universal Weapons Rack (UWR) offers great flexibility in the configuration of shelves and bins, allowing optics to be stored right on the weapons, which saves the armorers' time. The UWR features built-in, retractable doors and locking bars that meet physical security requirements. Doors, sides and backs of cabinets are diamond-perforated to allow quick assessment of inventory. Spacesaver developed special support brackets for the MK-153 SMAW anti-armor rocket launchers, which are stored horizontally in similar cabinets.

In another area, night-vision goggles are stored with their cases on Spacesaver shelving, customized with doors similar to the UWR and bin dividers that provide a high degree of organization. Although only a portion of the armory storage is currently on high-density mobile systems, everything was designed for potential densification in the future.
