The United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) is the United States Department of Defense's principal research and development resource for non-medical chemical and biological defense (CB).

[1] As a critical national asset in the CB defense community, CBC supports all phases of the acquisition life-cycle ― from basic and applied research through technology development, engineering design, equipment evaluation, product support, sustainment, field operations and demilitarization ― to address its customers’ unique requirements.

DEVCOM CBC actively initiates agreements with industry to collaborate on applied research, product development and testing.

It offers its partner companies the benefits of its intellectual property portfolio, science and engineering expertise, and its one-of-kind chemical biological research and testing infrastructure.

As an organizational grandchild of the original Edgewood Arsenal, DEVCOM CBC traces its lineage back over a century to 1917 when President Woodrow Wilson established the site as the location for the first chemical shell filling plant in the United States.
