The address of the Fort Bragg Branch Library is: 499 Laurel St., Ft Bragg, 95437 3511
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).
The fort is named after the Confederate General, Braxton Bragg.
I believe I was exposed to it in April of 1968 during basic training at Ft Gordon.
Fort Bragg is on the coast and does not receive snow.
no.
Information released in Freedom of Information documents indicates that approximately 1100 gallons of herbicides- including Agent Orange- were released by aerial spraying at several areas at Ft. Gordon GA. These were close to the area where Camp Crockett was located. This was conducted in 1967.
