101st Chemical Company

The 101st Chemical Company was originally constituted during World War II as part of the U.S. Army’s growing effort to address chemical warfare threats. Activated in 1942, the unit provided vital decontamination, smoke generation, and chemical defense support across multiple theaters of operation. Throughout its history, the 101st has adapted to evolving threats, supporting both combat and humanitarian missions, including training exercises and hazardous material responses. Today, the 101st Chemical Company stands ready to deploy worldwide, ensuring U.S. forces are protected against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) hazards.
