The National Center for Toxicological Research is geographically adjacent to the Pine Bluff Arsenal, and was once an integrated part of the installation. It was established by executive order on January 27, 1971. The U.S. Army Chemical Corps used the facility for biological warfare research and chemical weapons development until 1969, when President Richard Nixon signed an executive order banning such research from military facilities, and the Army subsequently transferred operation of the site to the FDA.
