In theory, yes the military knows where they directly used Agent Orange/Purple... however the secondary or indirect effects are still being hotly argued - at least up here in Canada. Agent Orange/Purple was tested at CFB Gagetown out in New Brunswick, and the local town (and former residents of the base) have been fighting the government for years claiming that soil and groundwater contamination has led to the incredibly high rates of cancer, as well as heart and respiratory problems.
