Asbestos Exposure in Military Bases Near Martinsburg West Virginia

There are two United States Coast Guard bases in or around Martinsburg, West Virginia. The Operations Systems Center Coast Guard base in Martinsburg, West Virginia was established in 1991 with the primary mission to computerize the United States Coast Guard. It developed software and automated systems. Once that mission was completed, the new mission has been to maintain these systems and update operations. Civilian scientists and private contractors have helped maintain operations. All U.S. Coast Guard actions go through this center and the information is recorded on its private databases so that officials can track the activity and missions. It supports a variety of national missions, including national defense and maritime safety.

The Vessel Document Center Coast Guard is just a few miles away from Martinsburg. Located in Falling Waters, West Virginia, this base is a military installation that is owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard. It provides military support during critical times and is responsible for maritime commerce. During war or emergency events, it is responsible for registering all vessels that can be used defensively.

Coast Guard members have an increased risk of asbestos exposure since many boats were constructed with thousands of products that contained asbestos. Although much smaller than the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard members suffer mesothelioma at a comparable rate to Navy veterans.
