Question

Very interesting:
this vet was not technically in any unit or battalion that VA had already associated with AO- near the DMZ-
"A map study conducted by the Board indicates that the
veteran's unit, 1/17 FA, was located 1.9 miles from 1/23 IN,
and 2.9 miles from 1/38 IN during the time period of the
veteran's tour in Korea, and subsequently during the time
period when Agent Orange was used in this vicinity. In light
of the close proximity of the veteran to units acknowledged
by VA to have been exposed to Agent Orange, and affording the
veteran the benefit of the doubt, the Board finds that a
grant of service connection for type II diabetes mellitus is
in order."
