The M55 rocket was a chemical weapon developed by the United States in the 1950s. The United States Army produced both Sarin and VX unitary warheads for the M55.
History
In 1951 the US Army Chemical Corps and Ordnance Corps initiated a joint program to develop a 115mm chemical rocket. The US Army Ordnance Corps designed the 115mm T238 and launcher in 1957 to provide the army a means to attack large area targets with chemical agents. Artillery and mortars are for small area targets; and due to different spin stabilities weapons intended for explosives are not ideal for chemical delivery. The 115mm rocket was subsequently accepted as the M55 rocket with M91 launcher. Produced from 1959–1965, the M55s were manufactured at Newport Army Ammunition Plant and tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Army produced unitary warheads filled with Sarin (GB) and VXnerve agents for the M55.

Destroying CHEMICAL WEAPONS in KENTUCKY: M55 Rockets (GB Nerve Agent)
The Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant is destroying nerve agent munitions from the chemical weapons stockpile stored in Kentucky. Destruction of the M55 rockets containing GB nerve agent began July 6, 2022. Officials from the Program Executive Office, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives program expect the final round in the declared U.S. Chemical Weapons stockpile to be destroyed at the site in July 2023.

Static Detonation Chamber 2000: How it Works
The Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant is using the Static Detonation Chamber (SDC) 2000, the largest chamber of its kind, to destroy M55 rockets and rocket components containing GB nerve agent. The SDC 2000 is destroying rockets that have leaked in the past and placed in overpacked containers. Additionally, the chamber is destroying undrained rocket warheads, as well as rockets not suitable to be processed in the plant. Finally, the SDC 2000 is designed to destroy agent-contaminated secondary waste. During closure operations, the chamber will destroy containerized rocket warheads containing residual amounts of chemical agent.

Chemical Weapons Destruction in Kentucky: Process Overview
The Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP) is a state-of-the-art facility that is safely destroying the chemical weapons stockpile at the Blue Grass Army Depot near Richmond, Kentucky.
The stockpile at the depot originally consisted of chemical agent configured in 155mm projectiles containing mustard or VX nerve agent, 8-inch projectiles containing GB nerve agent, and M55 rockets containing VX or GB nerve agent.
Operations at BGCAPP began in 2019 and are scheduled to complete by the Chemical Weapons Convention treaty commitment date of Sept. 30, 2023.
The team successfully destroyed all projectiles containing chemical agent, as well as M55 rockets containing VX nerve agent and is now destroying M55 rockets containing GB nerve agent.
