92nd Chemical battalion

The 92nd Chemical Battalion was constituted on 18 January 1945 in the Army of the United States and activated on 1 February 1945 at Fort Clayton, Panama Canal Zone. Initially tasked with chemical defense and smoke operations, the battalion played a vital role in providing chemical support and training in the Panama region during and after World War II. Over the decades, the 92nd Chemical Battalion was reorganized and relocated, supporting U.S. Army operations with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) expertise. The unit has since been inactivated, but its legacy endures through its contributions to Army chemical defense capabilities.
