BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


Report To The Chairman,

Subcommittee On Investigations

Committee On Armed Services

House Of Representatives



The Army's Program To Assure The

Security And Safety Of The Chemical

Munitions Stockpile Is Comprehensive

And Effective


The United States has a large stockpile of
toxic chemical munitions to deter other
countries from using chemical warfare and
to retaliate if deterrence is unsuccessful.
The potential health and safety concerns
about these munitions and the psychological,
political, and military implications of the
accidental or uncontrolled release of chemical
agents require rigid and precise controls.
The Army has established a Chemical Surety
Program to assure that chemical agents and
their related weapons systems are maintained
in a manner which enhances safety, secu-
rity, and reliability.
GAO found that chemical munitions storage
sites have, and are adhering to, an effective
Chemical Surety Program. The report also dis-
cusses past and planned actions concerning
the demilitarization of chemical munitions.
