U.S. military bases that stored Agent Orange and learn how Veterans exposed on these sites can qualify for VA disability benefits.
Agent Orange was one of the most toxic herbicides used during the Vietnam War and related military operations. While it is most closely associated with Vietnam, the chemical was also stored, tested, and transported at numerous U.S. military bases.
If you served at one of these bases and later developed a health condition linked to Agent Orange exposure, you may be eligible for VA disability benefits. This guide provides a verified list of U.S. bases known to have stored Agent Orange and explains how Veterans can pursue compensation for related illnesses.
Agent Orange was a defoliant used by the U.S. military to remove dense vegetation and expose enemy positions. It contained dioxin (TCDD), a highly toxic compound linked to cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and numerous other long-term conditions.
Because of improper storage, leaks, and environmental exposure, many Veterans were affected outside of Vietnam, including those stationed at bases in the continental U.S.
The following list represents locations verified by Department of Defense and VA documentation as storage or test sites for Agent Orange and other tactical herbicides.
🧭 Note: This list includes verified sites from VA and Department of Defense (DoD) documentation. The VA continues to investigate additional locations as new evidence becomes available.
Agent Orange was also stored or tested at U.S. military installations abroad, including:
Even if your base isn’t listed here, exposure may still have occurred through contaminated soil, equipment, or materials transported from these sites.
The U.S. military maintained domestic stockpiles of Agent Orange for testing, storage, and disposal. These activities continued well after the Vietnam War, despite early reports linking dioxin to severe health effects. Improper disposal and accidental releases led to widespread contamination at several bases, putting service members and civilians at risk.
Veterans exposed to Agent Orange may qualify for presumptive service connection if diagnosed with one of the VA’s recognized conditions under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(e), including:
If your condition is not on the presumptive list, you may still pursue a direct service connection by providing:
The VA’s list of verified exposure locations evolves as new data emerges. If you served on a base not yet confirmed, you can still build a case using:

You can still file a claim. The official list is not exhaustive—new locations are confirmed periodically. Supporting evidence from service records and witness statements can still establish exposure.
Provide service records showing duty at or near a contaminated base, medical documentation of an Agent Orange-related condition, and a nexus letter linking your illness to service.
A presumptive connection means the VA automatically links certain diseases to exposure if you served in qualifying areas. A direct connection requires you to prove the link with evidence and medical documentation.
Yes — it may still be possible to qualify for VA disability benefits through a direct service connection. This requires showing that your condition is linked to military service by providing evidence of exposure, medical diagnosis, and expert opinion supporting causation.
