Johnston Atoll Operation

The Johnston Atoll Operation involved the use of Johnston Atoll, a remote Pacific island, primarily for U.S. military and scientific activities from the 1950s to the 2000s. It served as a testing site for chemical and biological weapons, a nuclear debris cleanup area, and a platform for missile testing. The operation included managing hazardous materials and conducting experiments under strict safety protocols. Over time, environmental and health concerns led to the cessation of many activities, and the atoll was later transitioned to environmental cleanup and conservation efforts.
