to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), that Defendant
Department of the Army (Army) has an ongoing duty to warn class
members of any information acquired after the last notice was
provided, and in the future, that may affect their well-being,

individuals who, while serving in the armed forces, were test
subjects in any testing program in which humans were exposed to
a chemical or biological substance for the purpose of studying or
observing the effects of such exposure (that was sponsored,
overseen, directed, funded, and/or conducted by the Department of
the Army) of any information acquired after the last notice was
provided, and in the future, that may affect their well-being,
when that information becomes available. Plaintiffs are entitled
to an injunction on that Notice Claim and such injunction shall
issue.
