Pine Bluff Arsenal: Overview

The Pine Bluff Arsenal is maintained by the U.S. Army and is charged with the storing of chemical weapons.

These products, like smoke and tear gas, are specifically designed for situations that require a suspect or enemy combatant to be temporarily neutralized. The weaponry produced at the Pine Bluff Arsenal is often referred to as “less than lethal.”

The post was originally intended to produce explosive ordinance for use during World War II, but its role quickly expanded to include the manufacturing and warehousing of incendiary and chemical munitions. By the end of the war, the Pine Bluff Arsenal was producing bombs and artillery shells that were designed to expel lethal gas upon detonation.
