U.S. Army-Pine Bluff Arsenal

Pine Bluff Arsenal was established Nov. 3, 1941, by the War Department to manufacture and assemble incendiary munitions. The mission has expanded to make it unique among military installation. The Arsenal, under the command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command and the U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, serves a critical need for the domestic production of illuminating, infrared, phosphorus and smoke munitions. As a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) for Chemical and Biological Defense Equipment, Smoke Ammunition and Textile Manufacturing, the Arsenal is responsible for a variety of products that save lives and protect the Warfighter.
