(7) The operations of the Chemical Decontamination Training Facility depend upon the support activities of the Army Chemical School which is also located at Fort McClellan, Alabama. (8) The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission has reported that the closure or diminished operation of the Chemical Decontamination Training Facility could have an adverse impact on the capability of the Armed Forces to defend against the use of chemical weapons and agents and, thus, on the national security of the United States.
