Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System (JACADS) was the U.S. Army's first chemical munitions disposal facility. It was located on Johnston Island, at Johnston Atoll and completed its mission and ceased operation in 2000. ==Background==
Prior to the beginning of destruction operations at JACADS, the atoll held about 6.6% of the entire U.S. stockpile of chemical weapons.〔 Chemical weapons were stockpiled on Johnston Atoll beginning in 1971,〔 including weapons transferred from Okinawa during the 1971 Operation Red Hat.〔 Some of the other weapons stored at the site, including Sarin (GB) and VX Nerve Agent, were shipped from U.S. stockpiles in Germany in 1990. These shipments followed a 1986 agreement between the U.S. and Germany to move the munitions.〔Broadus, James M., et al. ''The Oceans and Environmental Security: Shared U.S. and Russian Perspectives'', (( Google Books )), p. 103, Island Press, 1994, (ISBN 1559632356), accessed October 25, 2008.〕 The remainder of the chemical weapons were a small number of World War II era weapons shipped from the Solomon Islands.〔 In 1985, the U.S. Congress mandated that all chemical weapons stockpiles at Johnston Atoll, mostly mustard and nerve agents, be destroyed.〔
