LEAD is headquartered in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and comprises over 18,000 acres. As the second largest employer in Franklin County, with over 1,600 employees, the depot fuels over a quarter of a billion dollars annually into the region both through payroll and contracts.
The workforce maintains a unified focus to embrace their daily tasks and takes personal responsibility for their role in supporting the warfighter. The various awards and recognition testify to the loyalty, hard work and dedication exhibited through the workforce.
