Project 112 (Including Project SHAD)
Project SHAD, an acronym for Shipboard Hazard and Defense, was part of a larger effort called Project 112 which was a comprehensive program initiated in 1962, by the Department of Defense (DoD) to protect and defend against potential chemical and biological warfare threats. Project SHAD encompassed a series of tests by DoD to determine the vulnerability of U.S. warships to attacks with chemical and biological warfare agents, and the potential risk to American forces posed by these agents. Project 112 tests involved similar tests conducted on land rather than aboard ships. Project SHAD involved service members from the Navy and Army and may have involved a small number of personnel from the Marine Corps and Air Force.
DoD continues to release declassified reports about sea- and land- based tests of chemical and biological materials known collectively as "Project 112." The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is working with DoD to obtain information as to the nature and availability of the tests, who participated, duration and agents used.
Any veteran involved in Project SHAD who believes that one or more of their disabilities may have resulted from exposure during testing may file a claim for compensation with VA. For information and assistance on applying for service-connected compensation contact the nearest VA Regional Office toll-free at (800) 827-1000. Or, apply on-line at http://vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp. For information and assistance by e-mail contact SHADHELPLINE@vba.va.gov.) Veterans involved in Project SHAD with health-related questions or concerns can receive information and assistance by calling toll-free (800) 749-8387.

ProjectShad.com is dedicated to providing a central point of collection for information related to the immoral Government testing of US Navy Soldiers in the 60's. Project 112/SHAD / has severely impacted the lives of not only the soldiers that were tested on, but the family members of those soldiers, to include deaths of spouses, children and grandchildren. The government will never honor these soldiers,or these test subjects that were wrongfully experimented on, but we can, by ensuring the facts of Project 112/ SHAD are documented and made public to the world. Only through knowledge and education of these past events can we try to ensure governments in any country don't try these evil types of things again.
