Camp Leach Camp Leach was the name the U . S . military used for the segment of the Washington , DC main campus of American University during World War I and World War II . During both wars , the university allowed the U . S . military to use parts of its grounds for weapons development and testing . In 1917 , 24 days after the United States declared war on Germany , the university offered its property to the war effort . The military divided the campus into two segments , Camp American University and Camp Leach . The two camps were considered at the time to be " the largest laboratory this side of the sun or other burning stars . " Thus , during World War I , Camp American University and Camp Leach became the birthplace of the United States ' chemical weapons program . About 100 , 000 soldiers and 2 , 000 chemists were employed on the campus . At the far corner of the university , the military also tested some of its weapons . When the war had ended it was reported that $ 800 , 000 ( in 1918 - US $ ) worth of World War I munitions were buried in a pit in the same corner of the university . In 1993 , a construction worker stumbled upon some of the buried munitions . The next day it was reported in the Washington Post that World War I bomb shells had been unearthed near a Senator ' s house bordering the university grounds . This led to a major cleanup effort by the military in the 1990s and subsequently again in the 2000s ( decade ) on the site , which included a corner of the university and several neighboring residences , including the residence of the Embassy of South Korea , which occupies a significant percentage of the site . As no buildings have been built directly atop the site , the military announced that the effects of neither the residual chemicals nor the cleanup program will have any effects on students living on the campus .
