The COBRATF at Anniston, Alabama is the only civilian facility in the United States of its kind.

The complex consists of an administration building, a guardhouse (entry control point), outdoor training buildings, the main training building, and a storage building for supplies and materiel. The main training building has a medical aid station, a chemical laboratory, a centralized air monitoring control room, male and female locker rooms, a laundry, an equipment maintenance area, solid and liquid waste holding areas, air filter banks, and the facility safety control room. One large training bay, a service gallery, and six individual training bays complete the floor plan. The design philosophy for the main training building incorporates protection of the environment and safety of COBRATF personnel. The training building is maintained under constant negative air pressure to insure no toxic vapors migrate to the outside. Instructors use toxic nerve agents in small quantities within the toxic bays during CBRNE defense training.
