U.S. Army Chemical Materials Activity (CMA) is the world leader in programs to store, treat, and dispose of chemical weapons safely and effectively. The activity developed and used technologies to safely store and eliminate chemical weapons at seven stockpile sites while protecting the public, its workers and the environment. CMA also has the storage mission at the Nation’s final two stockpile sites.
CMA headquarters management team, as well as scientific, communications and support staff, is based at the Edgewood Area of the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, while other dedicated managers and staff fulfill the activity’s mission at the two remaining chemical weapons stockpile storage sites at Blue Grass Army Depot, Kentucky, and Pueblo Chemical Depot, Colorado, as well as recovered chemical agent materiel sites and locations across the country.
