Agent Orange was as chemical used to destroy forests (jungles) in South Vietnam. It was sprayed by choppers and fixed wing transport planes (C-130s mostly). It was later replaced by Rome Plows (bull dozers) operated by the US Army Engineers.
Vehicles hit by that stuff could be easily de-contaminated. However, many military vehicles during the Vietnam War stayed there, as they were turned over to the ARVNs (Army Republic South Vietnam-South Viet Government). This included helicopters, jets, airplanes, tanks, artillery, and wheeled vehicles.

Probably. The military tends to use weed killers alongside the road, and Agent Orange (which is a mix of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, two very popular herbicides of the time) was in plentiful supply in the military. So, probably every military base open when Orange was being used got a few barrels of it.

Was agent orange used in Fort Polk LA in 1967?
DURING WARTIME, AGENT ORANGE was widly used as a defoliant in jungle or heavily forested areas. The whole area was sprayed, killing all of the trees leaves and foliage, making it eaiser for us to see the enemy. HOWEVER: You didn't have to be right there to be exposed to it. I know people who were in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. They were exposed to agent orange in the process of making it,packaging it, storing it, loading it,shipping it, dispersing it and many other possible ways. So to answer your question: yes it is possible to have been exposed to agent orange at various bases and installations.(NOT in particular Ft. Lewis, but in general).
