WASHINGTON — Two Air Force planes will spray chemicals to help break up the Gulf Coast oil spill, Pentagon officials said Friday as officials considered how else the military could assist.
The two C-130 Hercules cargo planes were staging for their flights at Lake Charles, La., after getting their orders Friday, said Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell. Defense Secretary Robert Gates late Friday mobilized the Louisiana National Guard to help communities respond to the spill.
