Last Update: May 15, 1997

 

Many veterans of the Gulf War have been experiencing a variety of physical symptoms, collectively called Gulf War illnesses. In response to veterans’ concerns, the Department of Defense (DoD) established an Investigative Team in June 1995 to look into all possible causes. The Investigative and Analysis Directorate (IAD) of the Office of the Special Assistance for Gulf War Illnesses (OSAGWI) assumed responsibility for these investigations on November 12, 1996, and has continued to investigate reports of positive chemical agent detections such as that at Camp Monterey. The interim report on this detection is contained here.

As part of the effort to inform the public about the progress of this effort, DoD is publishing on the Internet and elsewhere accounts related to possible causes of Gulf War Illnesses, along with whatever documentary evidence or personal testimony was used in compiling the account. The narrative that follows is such an account.
