PROJECT SHAD INVESTIGATION INFORMATION ON-LINE

The Department of Defense has launched a website to communicate the results of the Project 112/Shipboard Hazard and Defense investigation. The site includes a status report of the declassification of medically relevant information of all Project 112 chemical and biological warfare agent tests conducted in the 1960s.

The SHAD program was a subset of Project 112 tests conducted by the Deseret Test Center. Under the project, 109 tests were planned between 1963 and 1970. To date, DoD has published 12 fact sheets that chronicle ships and units involved in the SHAD tests, dates of the tests, and the substances to which the crews may have been exposed. Veterans who believe they were involved in SHAD tests and desire medical evaluations should call the VA's Helpline at (800)749-8687.
