Kip Lindberg, director, Chemical Corps Museum, U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear School, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri presents “The Development of Chemical Warfare.” The First World War saw the implementation of many types of new weapons.

The program will cover the development of chemical warfare in World War I: why poisonous gas use was initiated, what gases were used and what were their effects, and what is the legacy of chemical warfare 100 years later.
