Millions of veterans are dealing with the after effects of Agent Orange (called such because of the Orange band painted around the barrels). During the war, the Military color coded their ordnance: yellow meant explosive, red meant chemical, blue meant inert (training rounds), black was armor piercing. Those colors might be modified into other catagories.

Agent Orange was the primary agent. In 1969 the US Army Engineers began operating Rome Plows to replace the agent.
