The Pentagon carried out a series of secret chemical and biological weapons tests on American military personnel in the 1960s and 1970s, McClatchy DC reports.
Known as Project 112 and Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD), some 6,000 military personnel were involved in the tests, most from the Army and Navy.
The purpose of the tests, carried out between 1962 and 1974, was to develop a response plan to a chemical attack—using deadly nerve agents such as Sarin and Vx gas, as well as bacteria such as E. Coli—and to identify weaknesses in U.S. warships.
“Veterans were exposed to some of the most extreme and hazardous agents […] and they now suffer from debilitating health care conditions,” said Ken Wiseman, senior vice commander of the Virginia VFW branch, at a press conference on Wednesday.
