Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland is the US Army's oldest active proving ground and one of the most significant military research and testing installations in the country. The installation houses the US Army Research Laboratory, the Chemical Materials Activity, and the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center — responsible for all Army chemical and biological defense research. APG is a primary target for foreign intelligence collection, particularly for Chinese and Russian programs seeking to understand US chemical defense capabilities. The surrounding Harford County community maintains emergency plans for chemical release scenarios.
