will demand officers who possess expertise in nuclear, biological, chemical, smoke, flame,
and environmental operations. The chemical officer fills this vital role. Whether you are a chemical lieutenant leading a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Reconnaissance Platoon or a chemical colonel making critical recommendations to the Corps Commander, you will play a vital role in winning on tomorrow's battlefield. Throughout your career as a chemical officer, you can expect to perform such diverse duties as platoon leader, commander, operations officer, project manager, observer/controller, instructor, and environmental manager. You must become an expert in all facets of combat operations, logistics, training, intelligence, personnel management, research, development, and analysis. The missions of the chemical officer are extremely diverse and challenging. Only the most motivated and enterprising officers can fill this mold. Upon graduation from the Chemical Officer Basic Course, you may elect to attend Ranger or Airborne School. As a graduate of the Basic Course, you will be assigned to either a combat arms battalion or chemical company. Here you will put into practice the technical and tactical knowledge you have gained. Your role, as a chemical officer, is to assist the commander in accomplishing his mission, and to defend your unit against the threat of nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare.
