4 Herlong, Calif. – (May 12, 2021) When Babe Fain arrived to Sierra Army Depot as a newly-hired employee 32 years ago, she had little idea of what the future had in store for her career as an Army civilian.
“I was hired to go to supply,” Fain said. “But they put me in the director’s office. So, I came on as a clerk-typist. We were just getting computers. We had typewriters back then.”
These days, Fain – now 75-years old serves as a training assistant, managing training records for the depot’s 1,500 Department of the Army civilian employees through the Total Employee Development system.

Currently deployed to Djibouti and Somalia, the classical and jazz tuba and trombone musician now spends most of his days as a 405th AFSB LOGCAP professional assisting with various contractual and logistical requirements.

7 CRANE, Ind. – Crane Army Ammunition Activity sits on 97 square miles of South-Central Indiana’s rolling hills and wooded ravines on Naval Support Activity Crane. The sprawling 124 miles of paved road connecting Crane Army requires a fleet of more than 250 construction and government owned vehicles that assist the workforce in their mission to provide munitions to warfighters around the world.
CAAA knows that its strength is the world-class Hoosiers who are using their skills to support the U.S. military. Ensuring that this workforce is safe on the road is a key part of the activity’s drive to shape the future of the Army – and one small device, hidden beneath the dashboard of Crane Army vehicles, is helping to decrease potential safety issues and accidents.
