Background/History of the Laboratory:
The U.S. Army's Dugway
Proving Ground (DPG) is a multipurpose Major Range and Test
Facility with a full range of capabilities for testing the
performance of chemical and biological (CB) materiel. Located
80 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, Dugway
encompasses 840,000 acres of land free from encroachment. DPG
supports all branches of the DoD and shares the surrounding
restricted airspace with the AF's Utah Test and Training
Range. A recently completed $300 million modernization
program has made Dugway an efficient technical
facility.
Mission of the Laboratory:
DPG is the DoD's principal
proving ground for chemical and biological defense materiel,
protective items and soldier compatibility with protective
clothing/equipment. In addition to this primary mission,
Dugway has been designated a center of excellence for
military smoke/obscurant and illumination systems testing and
performs artillery, mortar, mines and a wide variety of
special purpose equipment testing and evaluation. While DPG
primarily performs field and laboratory developmental tests,
another major responsibility is the Joint Chemical/Biological
Contact Point and Test Project, which was assigned directly
by the Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In connection with this task, DPG serves as the central
source for information on chemical and biological materiel
issues for all commanders-in-chief and services.
