A new frontier of defense for our country is the threat of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) weapons. Attending AIT at Chemical School and becoming a Soldier in the Chemical Corps means you will learn how to protect our country from such agents.
Your training will include how to identify and detect nuclear, biological and chemical agents as well as learning how to operate the technical vehicles and equipment used in NBC operations.
During One Station Unit Training, which combines Basic Combat Training and AIT, Chemical students become disciplined, motivated Soldiers proficient in common entry-level skills. They learn to develop self-discipline, physical readiness, motivation and proficiency in combat survival techniques and individual weapons that enable the Soldiers to become productive members of the Army Chemical Corps. They are trained in nuclear, biological and chemical detection and identification, reconnaissance, decontamination and smoke operations.
- Skills such as teamwork, discipline and leadership can help you in any civilian career you choose
