 ARCENT Suspected Chemical Weapons Site Investigation: March 14, 2000 Case Narrative Close-Out Reports are summaries of discontinued investigations into possible exposures of U.S. servicemembers to chemical or biological warfare agents during the Gulf War. The Office of the Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense for Gulf War Illnesses began this investigation of U.S. Army Central Command’s suspected chemical warfare agent storage sites located in the U.S. Army area of operations in response to veteran’s concerns, as well as those of the Presidential Advisory Committee. The Presidential Special Oversight Board requested that we provide a summary of this investigation, which we did at a public hearing on Sept. 16, 1999. Based on that summary, the Board concluded that the information obtained to date in this investigation, the emerging results, and the anticipated outcomes from continued investigation are not likely to improve our understanding of any unexplained illnesses. Consequently, the Presidential Special Oversight Board recommended terminating further investigation. In addition, to bring the investigation to closure, the Board requested that we complete a close-out report to present the data, documentary evidence, and findings compiled during the course of the investigation. The close-out report that follows complies with the Board’s recommendation, but if you believe you have additional information related to the U.S. Army Central Command’s suspected chemical warfare agent storage sites, please contact my office by calling 1-800-497-6261.
 I. Overview  Read the overview On Feb. 28, 1991, the day the Gulf War cease-fire order was given, the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) tasked the U.S. Army Central Command (ARCENT) to survey suspected chemical and biological warfare weapons storage sites in their area of operations. They were to survey 17 sites in their area of operations because "these sites were suspected to have possibly contained special munitions prior to the ground war."[1] Figure 1nbsp;shows the locations of the suspected sites. The USCENTCOM message included a justification for the survey: "The threat of special munitions may still pose a hazard to Coalition forces and access to suspected chemical/biological sites may offer an opportunity to clarify the extent of the Iraqi CW/BW threat."[2] Figure 1. Suspected Chemical Sites **Figure 1. Suspected Chemical Sites** The Presidential Advisory Committee (PAC), tasked to oversee the investigation of issues related to illnesses of Gulf War veterans, was especially interested in the USCENTCOM requests for site surveys. The PAC requested an investigation by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In July 1997, the CIA’s report concluded that there had been no chemical munitions at any of the 17 ARCENT sites, with the exception of the previously identified sites of Khamisiyah and An Nasiriyah. The Office of the Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense began its investigation of the USCENTCOM message to ARCENT in late 1997, though preliminary investigation had begun as early as July 1996 by the Persian Gulf War Illnesses Investigation Team (PGIIT). However, we are no longer pursuing the investigation for the following reasons: In July 1997, the Central Intelligence Agency published the results of their investigation into the ARCENT suspected chemical sites and assessed: ... that Khamisiyah and An Nasiriyah are the only two sites within the Kuwait theater of operations at which chemical weapons were stored during Desert Storm.[3]
    United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) inspectors have confirmed that Iraq’s chemical warfare agent munitions, although carefully controlled, were not marked as US forces had been told during their training, making it virtually impossible for Coalition soldiers to determine the presence of chemical warfare munitions on the battlefield without specialized equipment and training.[4]
    Despite numerous reports from soldiers of chemical munitions on the battlefield based on particular color stripes on the munitions, the preponderance of evidence in our investigations and interviews, and information provided by the intelligence community and UNSCOM, suggests that there were no chemical warfare agents at these sites.
    With the exception of the "Reported Mustard Agent Exposure Operation Desert Storm" case,[5] there have been no reliable reports of soldiers suffering symptoms of chemical or biological warfare agent exposure at or near any of the ARCENT suspected chemical weapons sites. The reported mustard agent exposure site was not one of the 17 ARCENT sites.
 II. Investigation This investigation originated with the PGIIT in the summer of 1996, and was continued by our office until September 1999, when it was discontinued following a recommendation of the Presidential Special Oversight Board. A.  PGIIT Investigation From July through December 1996 investigators concentrated on the USCENTCOM message sent to ARCENT, looking into the origin of the message, determining how Iraq marked their chemical warfare agent munitions, and locating key participants. They found no office of origin for the USCENTCOM message but they did locate many of the 17 ARCENT suspected chemical warfare agent storage sites on air target lists. Four sites were listed as suspected chemical or biological weapons storage sites—Tallil, An Nasiriyah, Ash Shuaybah, and Ar Rumaylah.[6] The investigation team also determined that some evidence indicated that Iraq did not mark its chemical warfare agent weapons in any particular manner.[7]
 B.  Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses Investigation The Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses resumed the investigation in the spring of 1999. Our investigation concentrated on three areas: USCENTCOM and ARCENT staff responsibilities, location of U.S. forces, and activities at each of the 17 sites. The first step in the investigation was to determine which staff had the responsibility and capability to generate a suspected chemical weapons storage site list. This involved identifying principal personnel, organizations, and roles and responsibilities in the nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) arena. The U.S. Armed Services Center for Unit Records Research database was used to identify U.S. units within five kilometers of each site [Tab C]. Figure 2. G-Day Force Locations **Figure 2. G-Day Force Locations** Once these units were identified (see unit symbols in Figure 2), we searched records to determine the extent of movement and activity of each unit at each of the 17 sites (Figure 3), e.g., reconnaissance, search and destroy, demolition, secure and inventory, bivouac only, medical treatment and evacuation, etc. Figure 3. Ground War Movement **Figure 3. Ground War Movement** Finally, we identified and interviewed decision makers and key participants from the VII and the XVIII Corps (commanders, operations officers, intelligence, medical and NBC specialists, and selected members of maneuver units, medical, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and engineer units). Results from these interviews validated our information. The interviews were also beneficial to the investigators in developing new lists of potential contacts and additional avenues of inquiry. Eventually, the investigation focused on the likelihood of chemical warfare agent exposure of Coalition forces at each of the sites. We also examined the possibility of the release of chemical warfare agents resulting from the air campaign or from demolition operations. The investigation began with two working assumptions. First, the message may have been produced by a U.S. military intelligence organization belonging to USCENTCOM. The Central Intelligence Agency or the Defense Intelligence Agency typically did not focus on sites such as those on this list that held little U.S. national and strategic interest. U.S. national-level intelligence agencies concentrated on finding and destroying Iraqi facilities that were of high strategic and national importance—nuclear, biological and chemical weapons production facilities, national communications facilities, war production facilities, etc. Typically found deep inside Iraq, these strategic facilities were far north of the area where ground combat between Iraqi and Coalition forces occurred.[8] The sites on the ARCENT list held more interest for lower-level intelligence collection operations that were conducted in the Kuwait theater of operations. This includes intelligence operations conducted by USCENTCOM and ARCENT. The sites on the ARCENT message were all located in southeastern Iraq, inside the area occupied by Iraq’s ground combat forces. Facilities within this area were of more immediate interest to intelligence units located in the theater.[9] The second assumption was that this particular list of sites may originally have been compiled for targeting purposes, i.e., for subsequent bombing or destruction. The ARCENT message contains descriptions derived from analysis of each of the 17 sites.[10] Information derived in this fashion is typically the basis for creating targeting lists. Furthermore, as the ARCENT message indicated, the information on these sites was generated before the ground war began, when identifying such sites for targeting purposes was a high priority. Our investigation included visits to several locations in the United States, research of multiple databases, interviews, and development of spreadsheets and graphics, efforts focused on determining the origin of the USCENTCOM message and activities at each of the 17 sites. We determined that, without a knowledge of who wrote this message, and why it identified these sites, there could be no assessment of the reliability of the intelligence that was used to create the message. Nor could we assess the danger to US forces posed by these potential chemical weapons storage sites. We researched and reviewed an array of Gulf War documents to clarify the origin of the ARCENT message and to find information on the presence of chemical warfare agents at any of the 17 sites. Documentation included operations plans and intelligence documents, orders and reports, and general information. We reviewed approximately 13,500 pages of Gulf War-related documents from USCENTCOM. We examined the complete records of the 52nd Ordnance Disposal Group, whose records included daily logs and destruction logs with descriptions and locations of munitions destroyed during and after the Gulf War.[11] Situation reports, intelligence summaries and information reports clarified a great deal of information.[12] We also examined after-action reports and unit histories to identify unit affiliations and missions and activities before, during, and after the war.[13] Iraq’s declarations to the United Nations and the publicly-available reports of the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq were also used to support the investigation. For example, in Buffalo, New York, UNSCOM inspectors stated in a public meeting that they had inspected four of the 17 sites and had found no evidence of chemical warfare agents.[14] Information contained in three OSAGWI narratives—the Khamisiyah Ammunition Storage Point,[15] the An Nasiriyah Southwest Ammunition Storage Point,[16] and Tallil Air Base,[17] all on the ARCENT list, provided leads and information. Interviews with eye-witnesses and key participants provided first hand knowledge of activities at each of the seventeen sites. Interviews with commanders, intelligence officers, and NBC, engineer, medical, and explosive ordnance disposal specialists yielded no evidence that chemical warfare weapons were present at any of the sites.[18]
 III. Significant Findings The information developed in this investigation fell into two general areas: an analysis of the significance of the information in the ARCENT message, and troop unit movements in and around each site. A.  Analysis of the ARCENT Message The following analysis is based on the interview with the US Army intelligence officer who drafted the USCENTCOM message to ARCENT, and our own investigation: The intelligence officer used all available sources to make an assessment of the sites as possible chemical or biological weapons storage sites before the ground war began.[19]
    USCENTCOM did not transmit this message until four days after the ground war began, after US forces had already passed by or through nearly all of these sites.
    This message was not written or transmitted as a warning to U.S. forces that these sites could possibly contain chemical weapons, but simply as a "request for information," with responses due by noon of March 4, 1991.There was no indication that XVIII Airborne Corps, a major subordinate command of ARCENT, or any of its subordinate units received the ARCENT 17-site message.
    There was no indication of any reply to the request for information by the March 4th deadline. In fact, there is no indication of any response to this message for another 23 days, until March 27, 1991.
    There was no indication, until March 27, 1991, that the information in this message ever came to the attention of any commander or key staff who were responsible for the security of their forces.[20]
    The message was transmitted via special communications links between National Military Intelligence Support Teams (NMIST) within the Kuwait theater of operations. As the name implies, these teams were specially-created intelligence units that typically focused on items of national and strategic interest. They were collocated with USCENTCOM units but actually reported to the Joint Staff. The intelligence officer stated he did not specify the priority of the message nor that NMIST channels be used to transmit the request. Those decisions were made by others in his chain of command.[21]
 B.  Troop Movements Analysis of unit location data [Tab C] showed that every one of the sites had at least one US unit within five kilometers of it. Some siteshad numerous units nearby throughout the ground war and during the post-cease-fire period. For example, two sites that were within a few kilometers of each other had elements of two US armored divisions, two engineer battalions, and one EOD detachment in their immediate vicinity. Another large ammunition storage area, the Rumaylah Ammunition Storage Area, Southwest, had elements of three US Army divisions, two armored cavalry regiments, two engineer battalions, and four EOD detachments either passing through it, conducting inventory, doing demolition work, or bivouacked. We used troop movement information to identify key individuals to be interviewed. Those interviewed stated that during their operations at these sites there were no symptoms, illnesses, or injuries that could be attributed to chemical warfare agent exposure.[22]
 IV. Discussion  Read the Discussion The purpose of this investigation was to determine if chemical warfare agents were present at any of the 17 sites listed on the Feb. 28, 1991, USCENTCOM message to ARCENT, and to determine if there was a release of a chemical warfare agent, resulting from the air or ground campaigns or from demolition operations after the cease-fire. There are no validated reports of U.S. soldiers with chemical warfare agent injuries or who suffered symptoms consistent with exposure to a chemical warfare agent (with the exception of the reported mustard agent exposure as noted earlier.)[23] Records of the Army and Navy revealed no injuries caused by a chemical warfare agent. We found no record of medical evacuation to Navy ships for chemical warfare agent exposure. The investigation was terminated before we investigated Air Force medical evacuation records.. The Central Intelligence Agency assessed in 1997 that chemical warfare agents were only stored at two locations in the Kuwait theater of operations—An Nasiriyah and Khamisiyah (also known as Tall al Lahm).[24] Both of these locations are among the 17 sites listed in the message to ARCENT.  Although there were many reports by veterans that they saw chemical weapons, our research provided no conclusive evidence of chemical warfare agents at any of the 17 sites (excluding Khamisiyah and An Nasiriyah). The fact that U.S. troops were erroneously identifying particular markings on munitions as chemical weapons contributed heavily to anecdotal reports of chemical weapons at sites other than Khamisiyah and An Nasiriyah. Iraq did not consistently mark its chemical weapons. Without distinguishing or unique markings, chemical warfare agent weapons could not be recognized easily and would have required special training and hands-on inspection, such as that given the EOD teams. Explosive ordnance disposal and engineer specialists who were interviewed – those principally responsible for the destruction of major ammunition supply points – confirmed the absence of symptoms or casualties associated with chemical warfare agent exposure during their demolition operations. The Presidential Special Oversight Board requested that we provide a summary of this investigation, which we did at a public hearing on September 16, 1999. Based on that summary, the Board concluded that the information obtained to date, the emerging results, and the anticipated outcomes from continued investigation are not likely to improve our understanding of any unexplained illnesses. Consequently, the Presidential Special Oversight Board recommended terminating further investigation; therefore, this investigation is discontinued. ***This investigation is closed.

 Tab C. Unit Location Data This tab provides unit location data for the movement of ARCENT units in relation to the 17 suspected chemical warfare agent storage sites located in the ARCENT area of responsibility. See the Data Tables 1-10 depict units that were located within five kilometers of one of the 17 ARCENT suspected chemical warfare agent storage sites. Sites 1 and 15-17 are not included because they correspond to An Nasiriyah and Khamisiyah and are covered in separate reports. Table 11 depicts the daily movement of ARCENT maneuver and engineer units for the period Feb. 24 – 28, 1991. These tables highlight the days when individual units were within 10 kilometers of any of the suspected chemical warfare agent storage sites by identifying the site(s) with a number(s) corresponding to the locations shown on Figure 4 (e.g., the fourth entry for Table 11 shows Company A, 16th Engineer Battalion of the 1st Armored Division was at ARCENT suspected chemical warfare agent sites 2 and 3 between Feb. 27-28, 1991.) **Table 1.
