As if being the home of one of the Marine Corps’ most integral bases isn’t enough, Albany-Dougherty County’s defense sector is further strengthened by the presence of some of the world’s best-known contractors, including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics and BAE Systems, the latter of which is the world’s second-largest defense contractor by revenue. Aboard the base is Maintenance Center Albany, a DOD-award winning depot which resets much of the equipment used in the field by the warfighter, and Headquarters Marine Corps Logistics Command, which provides worldwide, operational logistics solutions for fielded weapons systems and support services and supplies.
