Pine Bluff Arsenal, a former chemical weapon production facility, is currently a manufacturer of non-lethal weapons and munitions. This is the only facility in the nation to be designated a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) for Chemical and Biological Defense Equipment.Pine Bluff Arsenal was established in November 1941 as the Chemical Warfare Arsenal. The arsenal’s output was greatly increased during the Second World War, during which it produced large quantities of grenades, bombs, shells, and such chemical agents as mustard gas and Lewisite. That production was terminated, however, following the banning of biological weapons in 1969 by President Richard M. Nixon. It was placed under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.Pine Bluff Arsenal was the nation’s only site housing the Binary Production Facility. It is the only facility where white phosphorous-filled weapons are loaded.Pine Bluff Arsenal uses its expertise in chemical and biological warfare in the manufacture of specialized protective clothing and masks. It also provides international-level certification to Department of Defense and private contractors engaged in the manufacture and testing of protective equipment.Another major peacetime role played by the arsenal is that of a place for safe storage of lethal chemical weapons. The storage is handled under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Chemical and Biological Defense Command.
