The issue of munitions re-enforced with depleted uranium (DU) has caused quite a stir among detractors of the practice. USVI works to sort out myth from fact, thus we are working to provide the more inquisitive with a host or resources that they can study. On this page you will find links to a variety of articles and studies, some written by those who advocate the use of DU and others written by DU's many detractors.

DU as well as agent orange, Gulf War, Operations Iraqi Freedom/Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF), ionizing radiation, and Project 112 (includes SHAD) falls under the control of the Environmental Agents Service (EAS), which is under the Occupational and Environmental Health Strategic Health Care Group of the Office of Public Health and Environmental Hazards (that's a mouth full). According to Veterans Affairs (VA), EAS also oversees the War-Related Illness and Injury Study Centers (WRIISC).
