Ken1 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 In 1966 when the 6th Army Training Center was in early stages of startup for AIT some AO was used to kill grass/weed etc on live fire ranges. At the time I was a Sgt E-5 and another E-5 screwed up by taking a long weekend off without signing out. Long and short we both had extra duty which was cleaning up two trucks that were used to transport and spray the AO. Our Range Officer a 2LT was a Westpoint grad but was a dud how he arranged for the AO I do not know. Thanks for looking Ken1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I too have no info whatsoever that AO was used or tested or stored at Ft. Lewis, WA. It is not mentioned at all on the DOD reports of testing or spraying outside of Vietnam. The VA has awarded AO disability to a few vets not stationed in Vietnam or Korea under the Korean limiting regs- AO exposure in Guam, Alaska, Thailand,Okinawa etc---- all posted here at hadit. In each case the veteran had a presumptive AO disability and proved to the VA they were exposed to Agent Orange. Not easy to do---but nothing is impossible.

billy2 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ken, I don't recall the AO at Ft. Lewis but I did have a nice steak dinner there when I ETS out of the Army back from Nam. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
