[Program] Chemical Demilitarization [Rating] Ineffective [Recommendation] While DoD developed specific milestones for each site, its management should focus on maintaining the schedule and efficiency goals. DoD should approve a destruction process and proceed with planning efforts for the Blue Grass, KY site and work with the community at all sites to ensure that safety concerns are met. [Explanation] 
The purpose of the program is very clear, owing to the unique treaty requirement to dispose of chemical weapons. The program has faced a number of challenges including schedule delays and cost overruns at several sites thus challenging the U.S.’s ability to meet treaty deadlines. The program has begun destruction activities at only two of nine sites.
