Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Army Chemical Corps has provided many opportunities to reflect on our proud history. Founded on the battlefields of France during World War I, the U.S. Army Chemical Corps has served with distinction in every conflict since its inception.
The ACR highlights unique Army chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear technical-response capabilities for supporting national countering weapons of mass destruction operations and conducting all-hazmat mitigation across the range of military operations anytime, anywhere. The objectives of ACR are to inform, motivate, increase knowledge, improve performance, and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas.
