Dear RM Agents
and Readers,
Thought it was
worth a little digging---here is their home
page--it seems they are located in Fort Detrick,
Maryland:

Please note
the many alphabet agencies--they also discuss
biolevel 3 & 4--interesting; anyone that listens
to Patricia Doyle from Rense.com may have heard
her mention that at least one of the biolevel 3
& 4 facilities have been known to breech this
rating to a 5.
Interesting to
discover that Ebola is a level 4 virus:

Dear Colleague,
Welcome to our
webpage, and thank you for your interest in the
U.S. Army Medical Research Institute
of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The many
dedicated members of the USAMRIID staff are
proud to have you peruse our program and to
share information on the impressive
accomplishments and high caliber of our
nationally important research program.
Since its
inception in 1969, USAMRIID has spearheaded
research to develop medical solutions—vaccines,
drugs, diagnostics, and information—to protect
our service members from biological threats. Our
unique capabilities include biosafety level-3
and -4 laboratories, world-class expertise in
the generation of biological aerosols for
testing candidate vaccines and therapeutics, and
fully-accredited animal research facilities.
The
outstanding national reputation of USAMRIID has
been built over the years by numerous scientists
and technical staff working in a variety of ways
to protect both military personnel and civilians
from the threat of infectious diseases. We
participate in support of emerging disease
investigations, working alongside colleagues
from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the World Health Organization. We
support the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
other agencies in our role as a reference
laboratory that sets the standards for
identification of biological agents. Our
customers in the Army and the Department of
Defense know us as a "tech base" organization
that has produced some 20 candidate medical
products over the past decade. Still others
recognize the impressive scientific credentials
of our workforce, which represents some of the
top infectious disease and biological defense
experts in the Nation—indeed, in the world.
As the United
States enters a new era of civilian biodefense
research, it is also clear that USAMRIID plays a
critical role in the status of our country's
preparedness for biological terrorism and
biological warfare. While our primary mission is
to protect the warfighter, our research benefits
civilians as well—a fact that was amply
demonstrated by the events of fall 2001.
USAMRIID is
looking forward to continued collaborations with
industry partners and with other agencies,
including the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases and the Department of
Homeland Security, to develop medical
countermeasures that will protect all of our
citizens, both military and civilian. I'm
excited about our future and confident that
together, we can accomplish great things.
Welcome to
USAMRIID—the birthplace of medical biodefense.
Sincerely
yours,
John P.
Skvorak
Colonel, Veterinary Corps
Commanding
