This problem may have been acerbated by the actions taken to manually
demilitarize GB and VX rockets on Johnston Island in the 1970s. After
neutralizing the agents in a glove box, the debris was put on a barge
and should have been detonated at sea. However, the Tech Escort
commander heading up the operation there elected to tow the barge to a
"deserted" island and detonated it there. He was not aware that the
island was a bird sanctuary.
