Dugway Proving Ground is a unique defense site that combines the microscopic world of its chemical and biological laboratories with large-scale testing and training.
The grounds of Dugway are used primarily by the Army and Air Force, for smoke and obfuscant testing, chemical and biological weapons training, detonation and dispersal research, and other weapons and projectile experimentation.
Though Dugway has used live biological and chemical agents in open air tests on its ranges in the past, current field training is done with "simulants"--inert materials with characteristics similar to dangerous agents, according to official reports from the revamped public affairs office.
