Greets,

I was recently reading up on the Tir so I did a quick look at what kinds of U.S. military bases can be found in the region - not many except for a small one called Umatilla Ordnance Depot (later changed to Umatilla Chemical Depot). A quick look through various sources confirmed that in the 1980s-1990s it was holding 12% of the chemical stocks of the U.S. military. Most of it was long term storage of the usual suspects of Sarin, Tabun, and VX in munitions (such as rockets, mines, and aerial bombs). In 2009, they are currently destroying all stocks of it including VX mines.

With the balkanization of the United States and the formation of various tin-pot dictatorship, I mean nation states in transition. What happened to all these munitions and supplies?

How many of these kinds of devices are still floating about?

What about the other two of the unholy trinity, nuclear and biological?
