Dugway Proving Ground, UT Installation Guide

U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground(DPG)is located approximately 80 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. Comprised of a land area greater than the state of Rhode Island, over 1300 square miles of high mountain desert, DPG is a closed Post with no public access. Due the remote location, the self-contained resident community is unique consisting of a higher number of government civilians and support contractors living on post than military personnel. The total number of residents averages around 1,100.

Dugway Proving Ground's primary mission is testing U.S. and Allied chemical and biological (CB) defense systems and performing nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) survivability testing of defense materiel using CB agents and stimulants. With over 50 years of experience, the proving ground uses its state-of-the-art laboratories and chambers to conduct the testing under environmentally controlled conditions.
