The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) is the Department of Defense’s lead laboratory for medical biological defense research; with a mission to provide leading edge medical capabilities to deter and defend against current and emerging biological threat agents. A key component of this mission is the training of military and civilian medical and public health professionals
to become proficient in recognizing early warning signs that a biological attack has occurred, activating the appropriate agencies and personnel to investigate the event, treating casualties, and preventing spread of disease. This application distills key information presented in USAMRIID’s training and education courses on biological threat agents of concern and serves as a quick reference for the identification of these agents in the field. Links to additional resources and contact information for emergency response to a suspected biowarfare or bioterrorism situation are also available through the application. If you find this information of use and are interested in further training on the biological casualties please contact the USAMRIID Distance Learning Project Manager (usarmy.detrick.medcom-usamriid.mbx.usamriids-training--education@mail.mil) for additional information on USAMRIID in-residence and distance learning courses.
