    The Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System (JACADS) served as the Army’s first full-scale chemical weapons disposal facility, destroying more than four million pounds of nerve agents, GB and VX, as well as blister agent (HD), using high-temperature incineration technology. Chemical agents contained in 412,798 munitions, including projectiles, rockets, bombs and ton containers, were eliminated in November 2000, reducing the overall U.S. original chemical weapons stockpile by six percent.
