Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for further development to verify the Veteran's in-service exposure to herbicide agents, including his participation in Top Secret missions.
The deciding factor: Insufficient information exists to verify in-service exposure to herbicide agents due to the lack of specific location records and the need for additional development.
