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.
As a result, Dugway is part of the complex of 2675 square miles of Department of Defense lands in the region used for a wide variety of weapons testing and training.

 Anthrax matches Army spores
For nearly a decade, U.S. Army scientists at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah have made small quantities of weapons-grade anthrax that is virtually identical to the powdery spores used in the mail attacks that have killed five people, government sources say.
Most anthrax testing at Dugway, in a barren Utah desert 87 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, is done using the killed spores to reduce the chance of accidental exposure of workers there.
Dugway's production of weapons-grade anthrax, which has never before been publicly revealed, is apparently the first by the U.S. government since President Richard M. Nixon ordered the U.S. offensive biowarfare program closed in 1969.
