Chemical Corps
(Dialihkan dari Chemical Warfare Service)
Chemical Corps adalah sebuah cabang dari Angkatan Darat Amerika Serikat yang bertugas memberikan pertahanan terhadap senjata kimia, biologi, radiologi, dan nuklir (CBRN) weapons. Korps tersebut didirikan dengan sebutan U.S. Chemical Warfare Service (CWS) pada Perang Dunia I. Namanya diubah menjadi Chemical Corps pada 1946. Sepanjang sejarahnya, Chemical Corps bertugas mengirimkan senjata-senjata kimia ketimbang memberikan pertahanan terhadapnya.
