wAS AGENT ORANGE STORED AT FT. HOOD, TX
1959
yes it was, it was stored there for shipment to Vietnam. I found out that it will take 80 plus years to clean up the mess.
Agent orange and other pesticides were used at the Fort Benning 26th Scout Dog Platoon Training camps.
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).
