Yes, the US Military uses DU. Specifically, it’s used in both the armor and ammunition for the M1 Abrams tank. It was used extensively by US forces in the recent series of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And there was enough of an issue around veterans exposure that the VA setup a program to track known cases of soldiers exposed to it. There is also a “helpful” FAQ page from the US Military’s health system downplaying the effects of DU exposure.
