 Demilitarization Laboratory Support
The Demilitarization Laboratory Support Section in
the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Division develops and provides
specialized technology to support the destruction of U.S. Army chemical agent

provided full chemical agent monitoring and laboratory services to the U.S. Army's first
production-scale demilitarization facility at Johnston Atoll. It also supports the
Program Manager of Chemical Demilitarization by developing new chemical agent monitoring
technologies and designing and evaluating advanced analytical methodologies for the
identification of chemical agents and potential interferences. As part of the alternative

department operates a certified surety laboratory capable of handling chemical agents in a
safe and secure environment.
