Dugway Proving Ground, Military testing facility in Tooele County, United States.
The Dugway Proving Ground spreads across 800 square miles of Utah desert terrain, featuring specialized ranges for military equipment evaluation and research.
Established in 1942 during World War II, this installation expanded from its initial chemical testing purposes to become a permanent defense research facility.
Military personnel and civilian contractors work together at this installation, conducting research programs and maintaining national defense capabilities.
The facility contains separate housing sections managed by Army Family Housing and UPH, providing accommodation options for both military members and civilian staff.
In 2004, NASA selected this military ground as the landing site for the Genesis spacecraft due to its soil composition matching lunar surface characteristics.
