The Bioradiochemical Weapons Division (BWD; Arabic: فرقة الاسلحة البيونوكميائية firqat al-aslaḥah al-biyūnūkmiyā’īyah) is a division of the Arab Air Force's elite Special Expeditionary Corps. The BWD essentially functions as the dedicated ammunition technician for all unconventional weapons used by the Air Force. Most BWD personnel are responsible for the safe storage, maintenance and disposal of these unconventional weapons, while some technicians are attached to the Special Expeditionary Corps' paratrooper divisions during retrieval missions (essentially, missions aimed at denying enemy powers the use of their unconventional weapons).
