Welcome Letter

Welcome to US Army Dugway Proving Ground. On behalf of the Soldiers, workforce and residents who work and live at Dugway, we are delighted you are interested in our installation.

Dugway serves as THE focal point for chemical and biological defense. It is a large, remote, high-desert closed post that employs approximately 1,450 military, government civilians and support contractors. State-of-the-art facilities and subject-matter experts are readily available to help customers with chemical or biological defense testing and training needs in areas such as protection, detection and decontamination to assist in improving capabilities to defend our military and support homeland security.

Dugway has all assets necessary to support the 1,000 residents of the small, close-knit community and infrastructure across the entire installation.

Environmental stewardship is high priority here. Abundant wildlife and vast terrain are protected in accordance with national environmental policies.

Dugway is continually working on restoration operations.

Housing
