Editing Project SHAD (section)

==Mission==
The Shipboard Hazard and Defense Project (SHAD) was a series of tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense during the 1960s to determine how well service members aboard military ships could detect and respond to chemical and biological attacks. Dee Dodson Morris of the Army [[Chemical Corps]] who coordinated the ongoing investigation, says, "The SHAD tests were intended to show how vulnerable Navy ships were to chemical or biological warfare agents. The objective was to learn how chemical or biological warfare agents would disperse throughout a ship, and to use that information to develop procedures to protect crew members and decontaminate ships."<ref name=SHADtests>{{cite web |url=http://mcm.dhhq.health.mil/cb_exposures/project112_shad/shadTests.aspx |title=DoD Releases Information on 1960 tests  |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->|date=January 4, 2002 |website=Medical Countermeasures |publisher=Department of Defense |access-date=April 25, 2014}}</ref> DoD investigators note that over a hundred tests were planned but the lack of test results may indicate that many tests were never actually executed.<ref name=SHADtests/> 134 tests were planned initially, but reportedly, only 46 tests were actually completed.
