The United States biological weapons program was a US military project for research and development of biological weapons. Started in 1943, two years before the end of World War II, research into biological agents such as anthrax was carried out until the ratification of the Biological Weapons Convention in 1972.

In direct violation of the 1972 treaty, the US military became a buyer of bioweapons from Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. Concerned over Umbrella's dealings with other nations, the US hired Dr. Albert Wesker, a former Umbrella virologist, to aid them in a competing program. By 1998, their ultimate goal became the acquisition of the G-Virus from Dr. William Birkin, which they believed would guarantee global American dominance. The program is believed to have been secretly discontinued following the Raccoon City Destruction Incident and the scandals arising from it.
