Chemical Corps officers train in the detection and identification of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, reconnaissance, decontamination and smoke operations.

The mission of officers in the Chemical Corps is to protect our country from CBRN threats, as well as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). CBRN officers command or serve as platoon leaders of a chemical unit while employing state-of-the-art CBRN defense systems. Officers also plan, coordinate and direct operations, including vulnerability assessment, multi-spectral obscuration, sensitive site exploitation and assessment, CBRN reconnaissance, CBRN decontamination and CBRN force protection. Soldiers in this branch are additionally responsible for combating WMD, which includes nonproliferation, counter proliferation and consequence management.
