There was a supreme court case in Sweden very recently that covered PFAS pollution from the air force, with a ruling that defined how the chain of responsibility look like. The local civilians living in the area sued the local government operated water treatment plant. The local government in turned blamed the military, and the military refused to take responsibility. The court decided that regardless of what the military decide, local government are responsible to their citizen in terms of providing pollution free water. Local government can try to sue the military, but it does not change the ultimate responsibility they got to their citizens. The government has a responsibility to protect the public from pollution. If the cost come from the military budget, national government budget or local government budget is something the different departments can fight over, but the outcome is still the same.
