When was USAEC established​?

 
The command traces its history back to Nov. 15, 1972, when the Army created the Program Manager for Demilitarization of Chemical Materiel. In 1975, the organization took on the task of managing the newly established installation restoration program for the Army. Between 1978 and 1980, the Army’s environmental responsibilities expanded to include research and testing and pollution control technology. The organization’s mission, name and chain of command changed repeatedly throughout the years but the focus on managing Army environmental responsibilities remains to this day. The Base Realignment and Closure Congressional Act of 2005 established the U.S. Army Environmental Command as a major subordinate command of the Installation Management Command and that connection remains today.
