The Construction of Badger^[2]

The site of the Badger Army Ammunition Plant was announced in 1941 and by 1 March 1942 the farmers had left their farms. Originally, 10,500 acres (42 km²) of land were acquired for the construction of Badger.

Work on Badger began in March of 1942. Before, the works were built, a 7,500 foot fence was erected around approximately 7,500 acres (30 km²) of the 10,500 acres (42 km²) acquired by the US Army. When the plant was finished it was complete with smokeless powder and rocket grain production facilities as well as housing for 12,000 construction workers and their families for six months, housing for 4,000-8,000 production workers and their families for the length of World War II, a school, a recreation center, a child care facility, a hospital, cafeterias, and transportation system.

Badger During World War II^[4]

During World War II, Badger was managed by Hercules Powder Company. Badger produced rocket propellant, smokeless powder, and E.C. powder. Smokeless Powder was patented a decade before World War II by DuPont and Hercules Powder Company had rights to make it at Badger. E.C. Powder was used in hand grenades, tear gas canisters, and blank cartridges. Badger also produced Acid and Oleum which is necessary for the production of these forms of ammunition. The Acid and Oleum produced at Badger were used onsite as well as shipped off-site to other army ammunition plants in the area.

After World War II, Badger was placed on stand-by and subsequently placed into excess federal property status.

Badger During the Korean War^[7]

In 1951, before the Korean War began, Olin Industries was awarded the contract to manage Badger;Olin Industries continued to operate Badger until 2004. Olin Industries had to get Badger into tip top running shape before production could begin. This included replacing machinery, office furniture and supplies, and building production areas such as the Ball Powder Plant. At this time, Olin Industries was the only manufacturer of Ball Powder in the entire United States. Ball Powder was introduced by Western Cartridge, a subsidiary of Olin Industries, in 1933; however, Ball Powder was not accepted by the US Army until 1944.

Ball Powder is a spherical grain shaped gun powder which is easy to store and transport in any climate; ideal for modern infantry. Ball Powder is fine grained, round, and shiny. It is black because it is coated in graphite powder. The amount of time it took to build the Ball Powder Plant at Badger was too long to enable any of the Ball Powder from Badger to be used in the Korean War. Therefore, it was put into storage for the next war; the stored Ball Powder was used during the Vietnam War. For other uses, see sphere (disambiguation). ...

Badger During the "Cold War"^[10]

During the "Cold War" years between the Korean War and the Vietnam War Badger was held in stand-by status. It was believed that Badger would not be reactivated unless a war was imminent because the threat of a nuclear strike existed. Badger was important to the United States because it is located far from large cities, has a water source, reactivation costs would be small, and it had the greatest ammunition manufacturing capabilities in the United States; Badger had the capability of producing most of the ammunition necessary for a land war. These qualities of Badger also made it a very likely target of a nuclear attack if it were to be reactivated. Therefore, Olin Industries maintained Badger on stand-by status until the United States announced its intent to send troops to Vietnam. For other uses, see Cold War (disambiguation). ...

Badger During the Vietnam War

Before the Vietnam War began, the army was testing the new M-16 rifle which used Ball Powder ammunition. DuPont and Olin Industries each developed Ball Powder that was compatible with the M-16 rifles used in the Vietnam War and were used interchangeably. Hercules Powder Company also developed a Ball Powder for the rifles; however, it was not selected by the rifle manufacturers or US Army.

Badger was not the only location where Olin Industries was able to make Ball Powder; the company had another, smaller, plant in East Alton, Illinois. It was believed that the East Alton plant would produce the Ball Powder necessary for the Vietnam War. However, when workers at the East Alton plant went on strike, the entire Vietnam operation was put into jeopardy. Therefore, Badger was reactivated on 3 January 1966 and Olin Industries prepared to make what would be millions of pounds of ammunition.
