Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act 2019 and the PACT Act of 2022
The Blue Water Navy (BWN) Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019 (PL 116-23) extended the presumption of herbicide exposure, such as Agent Orange, to Veterans who served in the offshore waters of the Republic of Vietnam between Jan. 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975.

The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.

The following table lists known dates, times, and locations when Horne was in AO exposed waters as defined in the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act 2019 and the PACT Act of 2022. Each entry includes a click-able link to the corresponding National Archives Horne deck log page.
Thank you to Ernest Davidson, LT USN(R) for the information.
