The Pentagon authorized the spraying of Agent Orange for two reasons — to defoliate trees so Viet Cong insurgents and North Vietnamese military forces would have less cover, and to poison crop fields to prevent those enemies from having access to plentiful food. The US military used Agent Orange, named after its orange-striped containers, to defoliate areas believed to be harbouring communist forces during the war which ended in 1975 and led to Vietnam's reunification.
