CHEMICAL DEMILITARIZATION: Additional Management Actions Needed to Meet Key Performance Goals of DoD's Chemical Demilitarization Program

Abstract

In 1985, Congress directed DOD to destroy the U.S. stockpile of lethal chemical agents and munitions in the United States. DOD designated the Department of the Army as its executive agent for the program, and the Army established the Chemical Demilitarization Program, which was charged with the destruction of the original stockpile at nine storage sites. Figure 1 shows the locations of the nine storage sites; the number of items, such as projectiles, rockets, mortars, land mines, and bombs, originally stored at each site; and the number of items remaining to be destroyed as of September 30, 2007.
