Thats done, now onto Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System, gots sources too. Check it: [2], [3] (would rather use this as an EL), [4], [5], [6] (looks to be official site - EL only), [7], [8], [9], [10], [11] (good EL), [12]

Soldier and Chemical Biological Command

Soldier and Chemical Biological Command, (SBCCOM) should be U.S. Army Soldier and Chemical Biological Command ([35], [36], ): according to globalsecurity.org, was divided up in 2003.

It was divided into -

• Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM)
• United States Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) - article needs an intro and some cleanup.
• PM Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense (PM NBC) - not sure about this one, NBC has been dropped in favor of CBRN
• United States Army Soldier Systems Center (SSC)
• Guardian Brigade (was interim solution, as of 04 consolidated into the 20th Support Command-article also needs work): [37], [38], [39], [40] (great EL), [41], [42]

The agency titled SBCCOM is correct. I used to work there. GlobalSecurity is incorrect. Also PM NBC Defense is the correct old title, it was broken up into PM Contamination Avoidance and PM Biodetection.

American Expeditionary Force Gas Service

The above, I have seen it written American Expeditionary Force Gas Service or American Expeditionary Force Gas Service Section, along with the American Expeditionary Force Chemical Service or American Expeditionary Force Chemical Service Section, were the precursors to the 1st Gas Regiment. They were established as separate entities, however, within the Engineer Corps (which is where the 1st Gas originated). So we could probably do separate articles, because they were separate units, or we could incorporate them elsewhere. From what I have seen there seem to be more on the Gas Service Section than the Chemical Service Section. --IvoShandor (talk) 22:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

M139 bomblet

The article being placeheld with M139 bomb should probably be at M139 bomblet, we may yet find enough specific info for a decent article, otherwise, I really think it should be part of Honest John.

I can't find much beyond passing mention of XM-768, another one that probably needs a better title than just the nomenclature.

Other possible articles

• Operation Green Mist
• Operation Dew Point

New article

I think a similarly structured List of U.S. biological weapons topics might be useful. Some of the topics would, of course, overlap. Thoughts? --IvoShandor (talk) 16:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I think that does it for now, surely there are tons of offline refs for all this stuff in military documents and publications, if any one has any tips, please offer them up. --IvoShandor (talk) 06:59, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Geraniums?

• Operation Geranium: [86], [87]--IvoShandor (talk) 17:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

No mention of the "Rainbow Herbicides?"

The Rainbow Herbicides used in Vietnam removed much of the North's crops, reducing the population. Should be listed as well. 173.180.214.13 (talk) 18:49, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
