It was a chemical based de-folliant used to kill jungle growth, so the North Vietnamese had less cover to work in and set up ambushes. It was also used in the South to kill growth so the Vietcong wouldn't have cover. One of the biggest health risks associated with Agent Orange is cancer. Veterans and citizens of Vietnam are still getting cancer today.
