EDGEWOOD ARSENAL EXPERIMENTS · 023

1950s. A U.S. Army research facility in Maryland. Thousands of service members volunteered — or were assigned — to participate in chemical testing programs. Official records confirm exposure to nerve agents, psychoactive substances, and incapacitating compounds. Many participants were told the experiments were classified. Some were never fully informed of what they received. In this episode of the Archive Vault Podcast, we examine declassified documents, congressional investigations, medical follow-ups, and the long-term questions surrounding consent and oversight. What was authorized? What was disclosed? What remains sealed? The archive remains open. #ArchiveVaultPodcast #EdgewoodArsenal #Declassified #HiddenHistory
