267th Chemical Company

The 267th Chemical Company was a United States Army unit activated in 1953, primarily tasked with chemical, biological, and radiological defense operations. Stationed in South Korea during the Cold War, the unit played a critical role in operating and maintaining the Army’s chemical munitions stockpiles, including the secure storage and handling of chemical weapons at the Koon-ni (Camp Mercer) and later at Camp Carroll. The 267th Chemical Company gained particular notoriety for its role in Project Eagle, overseeing the eventual removal and disposal of chemical weapons from the Korean Peninsula in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The unit was inactivated in 1992 following the completion of its mission and the drawdown of U.S. chemical weapon stockpiles in compliance with international arms control agreements.
