BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. --
Air Force Global Strike Command published a memorandum today signed by the commander, Gen. Thomas A. Bussiere, documenting the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at missile facilities based on an environmental survey by the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), acknowledging that PCBs were likely also present at decommissioned Peacekeeper and Titan missile facilities operated by many now-separated or retired servicemembers.
The memorandum is intended for servicemembers who served in the missile fields and need to document their potential exposure to PCBs for discussions with healthcare providers or Veterans Affairs.
The Department of Veterans Affairs provides toxic exposure screening at its facilities across the country. The PCB memorandum can help inform these screenings and discussions with healthcare providers. More information about VA toxic exposure screenings can be found at their website: https://www.va.gov/resources/the-pact-act-and-your-va-benefits/.
The memorandum, published on the AFGSC website and the Missile Community Cancer Study website, will remain available on those websites. However, command officials recommend that Airmen and Guardians download or print a copy for their own records.
