Support to Combatant Commanders
Providing tools and tactics to support Combatant Commander needs.
Emergency Response
Provide total project management and proven transportable assessment and treatment technologies to quickly respond to unplanned CWM recoveries onsite. Such recoveries are most often in response to CWM unearthed during range clearing operations and from burial sites.
Planned Remediation
Safe, effective and environmentally sound remediation support through project management and assessment and treatment of recovered items.
Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation (RDT&E)
A robust RDT&E mission seeks to establish the most innovative and effective means to assess and treat recovered warfare materiel, both chemical and industrial, benefitting the defense, engineering, chemistry, and safety industries. This includes product improvements of existing equipment and testing and evaluation of commercial systems.
Support to Program Manager Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (PM ACWA) and Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) as required
NSCMP provides flexible assessment and treatment options to chemical stockpile destruction challenges, augmenting CMA and the PM ACWA missions as needed.
Recovered Chemical Warfare Materiel
Recovered chemical warfare materiel (RCWM) includes items recovered from range-clearing operations, chemical weapons burial sites and other locations. Upon recovery, specially trained personnel assess the content and condition of suspect RCWM to determine the best action.
RCWM may include:
The U.S. Army Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Project deploys mobile assessment and treatment systems to identify and treat RCWM. U.S. law prohibits the destruction of non-stockpile chemical materiel at stockpile destruction facilities in the continental United States.
