Chemical Warfare. DoD's Successful Effort to Remove U.S. Chemical Weapons from Germany

Contributor
Summary
The chemical munitions were removed from their storage site in Germany beginning on July 26, 1990, and arrived at Johnston Atoll on November 6, 1990. Our review showed that after extensive preparations, the retrograde transfer was conducted successfully, safely, and in accordance with DOD's overall schedule; retrograde costs totaled $53 million-$11 million higher than originally budgeted; Johnston Atoll has adequate space to safely store munitions but not sufficient space to comply with DOD's preferred storage methods for chemical weapons; and the Secretary of Defense certified, as required by Congress, that an adequate stockpile of binary chemical weapons would exist before the transfer began but later determined that the planned increase in these weapons was unnecessary
