===Today=== Redstone Arsenal remains the center of testing, development, and doctrine for the Army's missile programs. Besides the U.S. Army Materiel Command and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, Redstone houses the Tactical UAV Project Office, Redstone Test Center (RTC), the [[Missile Defense Agency]], the [[Missile and Space Intelligence Center]], and other operations. After operating as a tenant on Redstone Arsenal for over half a century, the Ordnance Munitions and Maintenance School was moved to Fort Lee (now [[Fort Gregg-Adams]]), [[Virginia]]. Redstone Arsenal continues to host the Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA's largest field center for propulsion analysis and development, which developed the [[Saturn (rocket family)|Saturn rocket family]] in the 1960s and propulsion systems for the [[Space Shuttle]] in the 1970s and 1980s.
