Dugway is a pleasant desert oasis that harbored the most virulent seeds of mankind’s destruction.

Dugway Proving Ground Main Gate as seen from the junction of Skull Valley Road (UT196) and the end of UT199 which takes you back toward Tooele.

The Containment Aerosol Chamber (CAC) at the Life Sciences Facility allows for a contained environment for risky biological testing.

Mismanagement resulted in over-flows that contaminated the area.

This building is the remaining part of a simulated German Village. It has been utilized to provide data on gas penetration into well‑constructed European buildings. The building has brick walls, double window panes, and well‑constructed floors, and roof to make it as nearly weather tight as possible.

Workers in protective suits are testing live VX, GD nerve agent and thickened HD mustard-blister agent to enable solders to fight on a battlefield with deployed chemical weapons.

Field trial testing the effectiveness of the Sandia Decon Formulation for the kill of bacterial spores.

Thank heavens - that SCADA’s built in redundancy at all levels from I/O to server can ensure that systems are able to maintain operations within safe limits without any loss of control.

In the opinion of some experts, not a good idea for this worker, considering Dugway’s past record on the development of harmless simulants for testing.

Biosafety Level 3 - just a notch below the nation's most hazardous level-4 labs that work with incurable germs - some of the most dangerous microbiological testing, using a host of agents from anthrax to bubonic plague to encephalitis is handled here.

Scenic overlook of Easy Area uncapped 70‑acre landfill.

Site of the mock urban setting array which had a typical flow regime of U.S. and European cities. This test by the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Program of Arizona State University has a direct military application with chemical, biological, and radiological warfare.

Distant look at Easy Area from public land.

Due to the remote location Dugway’s mission also includes the testing of smoke and obscurant munitions.

Dugway has been designated a center of excellence for military smoke/obscurant testing and evaluation.
