For almost four decades, controversy has surrounded the tactical
use of herbicides in Southeast Asia by the United States military.
Few environmental or occupational health issues have received the
sustained international attention that has been focused on Agent
Orange, the major tactical herbicide deployed in Southern Vietnam.
With the opening and establishment of normal relations between the
United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1995, the
time has come for a thorough re-examination of the military use of
Agent Orange and other "tactical herbicides" in Southern Vietnam,
and the subsequent actions that have been taking place since their
use in Vietnam.
The United States Department of Defense has had the major role
in all military operations involving the use of tactical
herbicides, including that of Agent Orange. This included the
Department's purchase, shipment and tactical use of herbicides in
Vietnam, its role in the disposition of Agent Orange after Vietnam,
its role in conducting long-term epidemiological investigations of
the men of Operation RANCH HAND, and its sponsorship of ecological
and environmental fate studies. This book was commissioned by The
Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and
Environment) with the intent of providing documentation of the
knowledge on the history, use, disposition and environmental fate
of Agent Orange and its associated dioxin.
