Fort Detrick From Medical Command to Installation Management Command Fort Detrick began the next chapter in its history Sept. 30, 2011 with the transfer of authority ceremony transferring the U.S. Army Garrison from Medical Command to Installation Management Command. "Today we turn the page in the next chapter of our history while closing an era of MEDCOM garrisons. Today, as we change our flag, we reflect on our commitment to sustain, support and defend our nation and our community. We have always stood ready and responsive to support the diverse missions and requirements put upon us, bus as of today our transition becomes complete," said Col. Allan Darden, commander of the U.S. Army Garrison. In his speech, Darden highlighted the importance of safety to Fort Detrick as well as the importance of providing Soldiers, Families and Civilians with a quality of life commensurate with the quality of their service. "Our commitment extends to the wellbeing of everyone, development of our leaders and workforce, and the readiness of our installation to meet the needs and demands of our stakeholders and country's leaders. We are a national asset that is ready to meet tomorrow's challenges, responsible for the environment that we have been entrusted, respectful of our community and workforce and relevant to the success of our community." With the switch from MEDCOM to IMCOM, the installation will focus on six lines of effort: Soldier, Family and Civilian readiness, Soldier, Family and Civilian well-being, leader and workforce development, installation readiness, safety, and energy and water efficiency and security. "There's only one thing changing today," said Major
General Rubin D. Jones, Commanding General for Installation Management Command Operations. "The authority to deliver to the quality of life equal to the service of the great men, women and families of our military that serve here at Fort Detrick. Let me tell you what won't change-70 years of excellence at Fort Detrick, being recognized as a community of excellence over and over again, great leadership, and the great mission that this organization has." Switching from Medical Command to Installation Management was not a decision made overnight, as mentioned by multiple speakers at Friday's ceremony. Employees of the Garrison and of MRMC worked for two years to make this transition a successful and seamless one. A sustainable community of excellence serving a diverse population of military, civilian, families and retirees. This community guide was prepared to give you more insight and acquaint you with the organizations. It will provide you information about services, facilities, and area attractions to make your assignment memorable. The US Army Garrison, Fort Detrick, supports five cabinetlevel agencies: The Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services.Within the DoD, Fort Detrick supports elements of all four military services. Major Department of the Army mission partners include the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and the 21st Signal Brigade. -Article from Fort Detrick Standard, Oct. 13, 2011

FOREST GLEN ANNEX Army Lodging There is currently no transient military lodging at Forest Glen. Statements of non-availability are not required.
Armed Forces Pest Management Board The Armed Forces Pest Management Board, or AFPMB, is a Department of Defense function under the direction of the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and Environment. AFPMB ensures deployed combat forces have the most effective disease vector control and pest management capabilities to prevent adverse effects on troops, weapons systems, supplies, equipment and installations, using environmentally sound techniques to reduce risk. A senior officer selected from one of the military service branches directs AFPMB; duty rotates among the services. Army, Navy, and Air Force officers and scientists staff it jointly. The AFPMB offices, located at Forest Glen, include two sections: the Directorate and the Defense Pest Management Information Analysis Center. The AFPMB Web site is www.afpmb.org.
Naval Medical Research Center The Naval Medical Research Center's mission has remained the same since it was established in 1942 as the Naval Medical Research Institute: to enhance the health, safety, readiness and performance of Navy and Marine Corps personnel. NMRC and its subordinate laboratories conduct basic and applied biomed-
6
ical research in infectious diseases, biological defense, combat casualty care, bone marrow, and military operational medicine. In addition, NMRI and its overseas laboratories support global surveillance, training, research and response to emerging infectious disease threats as part of the expanded Department of Defense Mission.

The original research institute was a tenant command of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. It was disestablished on Oct. 1, 1998, and the Naval Medical Research Center was established as a headquarters command with responsibility for the Navy Dental Research Institute at Great Lakes Naval Base, Ill.; the Navy Infectious Disease Research Commands in Cairo, Egypt, and Jakarta, Indonesia; and the Navy Infectious Diseases Detachment in Lima, Peru. From the beginning, the institute's research focus included heat stress and exposure limits for hot and humid shipboard environments. It also studied safety equipment, including protective clothing, flight goggles, safety belts, and repellents for sharks and for insect vectors of disease. NMRI studied the Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb and became deeply involved in developing methods for treatment of radiation exposure. These efforts led to the establishment of the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute. During the 1950s and 1960s, the institute became involved in training monkeys, and later human astronauts, for space flight. It also developed a telemetry suit for transmitting astronauts' physiological data. The Navy Tissue Bank was established at NMRI, developing freeze-drying techniques for preserving tissue for grafting and other reconstructive surgery. During the Vietnam War, thousands of wounded Soldiers were treated with tissue that was collected, preserved and shipped from the Navy Tissue Bank. The National Marrow Donor Program was established in 1986 with the Navy as lead contracting agent. In 1990, the C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program became a permanent part of the NMRI scientific regimen. In 1990-91, NMRI scientists became involved in biolog-
ical defense research. In 1995, USA Combat Developer selected biological defense rapid assays developed by NMRI as its technology of choice. The institute's biological defense scientists helped UNSCOM inspectors determine evidence for Iraqi weaponization of biological threat agents. In 1995, a space shuttle Discovery payload included an experiment developed by NMRI Immune Cell Biology Program scientists investigating the growth and development of bone marrow stem cells. That same year the Endeavor included a second set of experiments developed by NMRI scientists. In 1997, NMRI immune cell biology scientists collaborated with university and private-sector partners to test novel medical therapy to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. Research continues in the Daniel K. Inouye Building, co-located with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the Forest Glen section of Silver Spring, Md.
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research at Forest Glen, is the oldest and largest of the laboratories in the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command. It was founded in 1893 as the first school of preventive medicine in the United States and has evolved into the military's premier biomedical research laboratory. Its primary focus is on research that delivers life-saving products to the war fighter. Today WRAIR pursues a research program extending from basic research through product development with emphasis on militarily relevant infectious diseases, combat casualty care, operational medicine, field medical, dental and dental trauma care, and medical defense against chemical and biological agents.

In the study of infectious diseases and biological threats, research includes basic molecular biology, epidemiology and vaccine development for diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, diarrheal diseases, leishmaniasis and dengue fever. Prevention of exposure (repellent research and vector surveillance for mosquitoes and sand flies) and prevention education are key elements to soldier health. Vaccine studies are carried out world-wide in areas endemic for these infections. Research benefits the Soldier and civilian populations in areas unstable due to the debilitating effects of infectious disease. WRAIR investigates mechanisms of and innovative care for traumatic injuries due to blast or traditional combat. Investigators have researched new methods for moving blood and blood products, improved storage techniques and regimens for resuscitation. The characteristics of blast injury, unique benefits of body armor and specialized treatment are also being discerned. Basic studies in neurobiology and psychology elucidate determinates of behavior and response to psychological stress and aid in sleep management. Studies so far have quantified combat psychiatric injuries, methods to prevent them, and the means to benefit performance. Much of WRAIR's work takes place in its main laboratory on Forest Glen. Collocated with it is the Naval Medical Research Center (see separate listing above). Elements of the Institute have operated beyond the main post since Maj. Walter Reed led the Yellow Fever Commission to Cuba from 1900 to 1901. WRAIR special field activities are currently in Thailand, Kenya, and Germany. Field sites exist throughout Asia and Africa. Research in these laboratories provides critical knowledge to protect war fighters deployed overseas. WRAIR is also responsible for scientific and administrative oversight of laboratories that focus on directed energy bioeffects, military dentistry, and operational stress. The directed energy detachment is co-located with the Air Force at Brooks
8
City Base in San Antonio, Texas. The Dental Detachment is co-located with the Navy at Great Lakes Naval Base. Complementing the successful in-house research produced by WRAIR is its responsibility for managing a broad program of external research. Contracts and cooperative agreements with leading university and industrial laboratories greatly expand the Medical Research and Materiel Command's capability in psychiatry, combat casualty care, and infectious disease and drug development research. The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, through a combination of teaching, research, and product development, exemplifies preventive medicine in its broadest context: identifying potential medical threats, developing specific prevention and treatment methods, instructing others in their application, and constructing drugs and vaccines which simplify the task of conserving the fighting strength. The institute still maintains an educational mission by hosting residencies and fellowships in military preventive medicine, military medical research, clinical pharmacology, and others. College, high school and middle school science programs educate local students about scientific research through hands-on activities and laboratory participation (Phone (301) 319-9259 or 7195 for more information).

On-Post Housing
Self-Help Program
Through the Army Residential Communities Initiative (RCI), the Army partnered with Balfour Beatty Communities, a private developer, to build, renovate, manage, and maintain family housing communities on post. The developer provides the capital and expertise; the Army conveys the housing to the developer and provides long-term leases on the land. The developer receives the basic allowance for housing for service members living in their units. Fort Detrick has a 50-year partnership agreement with Balfour Beatty and can expect many benefits from this partnership. The housing division transferred family housing operations to our business partner, Balfour Beatty Communities. Balfour Beatty Communities is responsible for the operation and maintenance of family housing. They are located in Building 1401 Sultan Street. Balfour Beatty Communities' operating hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00p.m. They can be reached at 240-379-6518. This number is also used to contact their service order/work order desk, during normal business hours. They have an answering service on this line after duty hours to handle emergencies. Visit the Balfour Beatty website at www.ftdetrickhomes.com.
The Self-Help Program is a continuous effort to preserve facilities in an acceptable state of repair and appearance by allowing individuals, units, and organizations to perform specific maintenance, repair, and minor construction with assigned personnel. Maximum use of personnel is encouraged to accomplish these tasks as long as they can realistically be performed and are authorized as self-help projects. The program can assist the facility users to improve their working or living environment and the performance of their mission. All units and activities are encouraged to participate in the program. Self-help projects must be submitted to the Directorate of Installation Services (DIS), Operations & Maintenance Division, for approval before the project is initiated. To make a submission, please call the Trouble Desk at (301) 619-2726.

The Department of Defense (DoD) remains committed to eliminating sexual assault from the ranks of the military. Sexual assault is a crime. It inflicts incalculable harm on victims and their families; it tears at the very fabric of civilian and military communities; and it destroys trust among individuals and faith in our institutions. The DoD has made significant progress in combating sexual assault by introducing a comprehensive sexual assault prevention and response policy and implementing it across the Military Services.
What is Sexual Assault? Sexual assault is defined as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, physical threat or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. Sexual assault includes rape, con-consensual sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault (unwanted, inappropriate sexual contact or fondling), or attempts to commit these acts. Sexual assault can occur without regard to gender or spousal relationship or age of victim. "Consent" shall not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the victim to offer physical resistance. Consent is not given if a person uses force, threat of force, coercion or when the victim is asleep, incapacitated, or unconscious. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Two Reporting Options for Victims 1. Victims have the right to make a "RESTRICTED REPORT" which does not initiate a police investigation. The purpose is to allow victims the ability to obtain medical care, support and counseling in a private manner. Victims may make a report to: a. SAPRP hotline: (240) 674-2802 b. The Sexual Assault Response Coordinator: (301) 619-3050 c. Medical Providers at Barquist Army Health Clinic: (301) 619-7175 d. Chaplains Office: (301) 619-7371 e. Heartly House: (301) 662-8800 2. Victims may also file an "UNRESTRICTED REPORT" to their Commander, or the Provost Marshal's Office by calling (301) 619-7114. Unrestricted Reports will be fully investigated. The Army Community Service Household Items Exchange Program (HIEP) supports military Families during challenging financial times in their life, mostly in the process of relocating to the costly Fort Detrick area. The program creates a network between people with items they want to donate, and military Families that need those items. The HIEP staff matches needs with availability, and refers the applicants to the appropriate donors. No storage is available; therefore, donors are asked to hold the items until they can give them to the recipient. Participation in the HIEP is free. Applicants do not have to give something back to the program, unless they want to. Donations can be accepted from all sources, military and civilian. Priority on referral is given to junior enlisted applicants.
Through the Food Voucher Program (FVP) we provide temporary emergency food assistance to needy military service members, retirees, and Family members. Usually this program benefits clients that, due to timing, nature of the case, and/or hardship in repayment, are not eligible for an Army Emergency Relief (AER) loan, or the loan cannot be processed in a timely manner. NOTE: Food vouchers can be spent at the Fort Detrick Commissary to purchase general food and sundry items. ACS Outreach Program Community Support Center Bldg. 1520, Freedman Drive Phone: 301-619-3787 Fax: 301-619-6288 E-mail: USAGOutreach@amedd.army.mil Hours: 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The ACS Outreach Program enhances readiness and retention by helping Soldiers and families develop a stronger sense of self-reliance and belonging in the military community. Outreach targets those families who have the greatest level of need, but are least likely to seek out and take advantage of services until they have reached a state of crisis. Outreach focuses on three main areas: education and prevention, direct services, and organizing support networks to encourage selfhelp and cultivate a sense of ownership within the military community. The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) Program is a grassroots program allowing members from every sector of the military to have a voice in raising concerns to the leadership. Some issues are dealt with at the local level while others are forwarded to higher commands for resolution. An AFAP Commander's Steering Committee (CSC) works to complete active local issues presented during the annual AFAP Conference. The Committee meets quarterly and is made up of action POCs from installation support agencies and leadership staff. The Deputy Installation Commander leads the CSC in an attempt to bring all issues to resolution and closure. An AFAP Advisory Council meets quarterly to provide oversight and support for the AFAP program and is made up and represented by individuals from all segments of the military community. To become an Advisory Council member, contact the ACS Outreach Program Manager. The CSC and Advisory Council meeting minutes are posted on the Fort Detrick Installation Extranet at: From the Homepage, click on the "Installation Extranet" link at the bottom right side of the page, then click on "Minutes" on the left side of the next page to access the information. Mobilization and Deployment Readiness, "Resources for Educating About Deployment and You" prepares soldiers and families for deployment which is an essential component of readiness. As the Army deploys units more frequently, families must be prepared to deal with the stress and family decisions during mobilization, deployment, and reunions.

animal models and sentinel species for evaluating toxic hazards in water, air, and soil. Currently, the USACEHR's Army-funded research is divided into two categories. The first category is the development of an Environmental Sentinel Biomonitor (ESB) system, which uses biologically-based sensors to evaluate drinking water for toxic threats. USACEHR's first ESB system was an automated fish biomonitor that has been transitioned to commercial production. This aquatic biomonitor has multiple applications, including monitoring groundwater treatment effluents from hazardous waste sites, and monitoring both source and product drinking water supplies of several large metropolitan areas nationwide. An ongoing research effort is aimed at developing new biological- based toxicity sensors that may be more easily deployed for military use and that are directed toward more demanding user requirements such as field drinking water production. The second research category applies the disciplines of genomic, proteomic and systems biology approaches to developing new toxicity testing methods (toxicogenomics) and the identification of biomarkers of exposure, effect, and susceptibility to toxic industrial chemicals. USACEHR uses both in vitro mammalian cell culture models and alternative (nonmammalian) species - a historical strength of this laboratory. The alternative species models provide many advantages in genomic and proteomic research, including well-characterized models for study, reduced husbandry and animal maintenance costs, and gene functions that are highly conserved across species, including mammals. The comparison of gene function across species facilitates the identification of responses to toxic exposures and increases the likelihood that candidate biomarkers will be verified in higher vertebrates and humans. Verified and validated biomarkers of exposure will provide the basis for the development of diagnostics and for identifying physiological opportunities for protection of the Soldier. USACEHR scientists collaborate with a variety of organizations, including other U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command research laboratories, the U.S. Army Public Health Command, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, municipalities, universities and industrial partners. Such collaboration promotes synergy and provides the Army with access to a broad range of research expertise and product development capabilities in support of our mission. Because our nation supports a large research and development base in the environmental sciences and chemical/biological defense, USACEHR is able to leverage new information and innovative products being developed in these other laboratories and institutions in support of military environmental health requirements. The US Army Center for Environmental Health Research combines state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and an outstanding cadre of scientists dedicated to protecting Soldiers from the medical effects of toxic industrial chemicals and materials in the water, air, and soil.

Division of Regulated Activities and Compliance The Division of Regulated Activities and Compliance (DRAC) is a multidisciplinary team of regulatory affairs and compliance professionals dedicated to support the USAMMDA mission of developing medical products for the Warfighter on point for the Nation. DRAC provides full-service regulatory support for products through the DoD acquisition spectrum, from individual investigator-initiated clinical studies to products in the advanced development pipeline. USAMMDA DRAC carries out its delegated responsibilities as the Office of The Surgeon General Sponsor's representative for the Army regarding medical materiel development, and its operations are mandated in FDA, DoD, and Army regulatory requirements. The DRAC supports investigators at medical centers and laboratories, institutional review boards, and product development teams in laboratories and advanced development organizations throughout the Army and the DoD. DRAC is organized as a Division office with four Branches, to include three regulatory affairs branches, and a regulatory submissions branch. The Regulatory Submissions Branch, is responsible for all submissions and official communications with the FDA or other regulatory agencies, to include creation and maintenance of the complete official regulatory files for OTSG-sponsored products. This branch also includes medical writing and edito-
42
rial support, as well as responsibility for serious adverse event reporting in collaboration with the USAMMDA Clinical Services Support Division. In 2010, the DRAC Regulatory Submissions branch compiled and prepared more than 250 regulatory submissions to the FDA. In addition, they wrote or reviewed annual reports and maintained complete sponsor regulatory files for more than 70 OTSG-sponsored FDA applications for medical products in support of the Warfighter. DRAC's Regulatory Affairs mission is allocated to three regulatory affairs branches: • Pharmaceuticals Branch • Vaccines and Blood Products Branch • Medical Devices Branch These branches were developed to mirror the FDA Centers (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and Center for Devices and Radiological Health), and each Regulatory Affairs representative has specific experience to support the type of product to which the representative is assigned. The role of the Regulatory Affairs representative is to provide expert regulatory advice, strategy, and support for medical products in all stages of development, to serve as a liaison between the Integrated Product Team or other parties needing support and FDA, and to assure that all product development efforts comply with appropriate FDA, DoD, and Army regulations and policies.
Medical Affairs The Medical Affairs Division integrates the review of safety data regarding OTSG-sponsored products and is in the process of establishing a comprehensive system of medical experts to support each product. In conjunction with the Division of Regulated Activities and Compliance (DRAC), Medical Affairs arranges the submission of expedited safety reports, updates of Investigator Brochures and preparation of Investigational New Drug (IND) annual reports. The division is coordinating with DRAC, the Medical Research Information Technology System (MeRITS), Pharmaceutical Systems, and the investigator community on standards for safety data collection based on industry standards for Phase I, II, and III research. Medical Affairs is responsible for the supervision and direction of the Force Health Protection (FHP) Branch at USAMMDA, which serves as the Executive Agency for the management of the DoD's FHP program. The mission is to plan, implement, and sustain DoD directed FHP IND protocols and to train the investigational staff in the execution of the protocols according to FDA regulatory guidelines. The FHP Branch manages the Specialized MEDCOM Response Capabilities Investigational New Drug/Emergency Use Authorizations (SMRC IND/EUA) teams used in the development of the contingency protocols.

U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). USAMRAA is the contracting element of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and provides support to the Command headquarters and its worldwide network of laboratories and medical logistics organizations. USAMRAA also supports the Fort Detrick Garrison and its military tenant activities, Army-wide projects sponsored by the Army Surgeon General, and numerous Congressionally mandated programs.
U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Medical Command responsible for lifecycle management of medical materiel, from basic laboratory research through advanced development, prototyping, procurement, delivery to units, maintenance and disposal. The USAMRMC is responsible for planning, programming and budgeting for construction of Army medical facilities and for corporate information management and information technology requirements of the Army Medical Department. Headquartered at Fort Detrick, Md., the USAMRMC operates six medical research laboratories and institutes in the United States. These laboratories make up the core science and technology capability of the command. They are centers of excellence in specific areas of biomedical research, staffed by highly qualified military and civilian scientists and support personnel. The command's in-house science and technology capabilities are enhanced by a large extramural contract research program and numerous cooperative research and development agreements with leading research and development organizations in the civilian sector. The command also operates eight subordinate units exclusively focused on medical materiel development, contracting, medical logistics management, health facility planning, and information management and technology. Approximately 5,400 military, civilian and contractor personnel are assigned to the headquarters and 14 subordinate units. Officers, enlisted Servicemembers, and civilians provide a wide variety of medical, scientific, and technical expertise. Many of these personnel are among the most respected and knowledgeable specialists in their fields. In addition to eight elements at Fort Detrick, USAMRMC operates units at the Forest Glen Annex of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Silver Spring, Md.; Alexandria, Va.; Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.; Natick, Mass.; Fort Rucker, Ala.; Fort Sam Houston, Texas; and Pirmasens, Germany. The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, one of USAMRMC's laboratories, operates overseas research units in Germany, Kenya, and Thailand. The USAMRMC is the Department of Defense executive agent for medical chemical-and-biological defense research
programs and combat maxillofacial surgery. It is also Defense Department lead agent for infectious disease research and military nutrition. Finally, it acts as the Department of Defense's manager of congressionally mandated, peer-reviewed research programs in breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, neurofibromatosis and military women's health.
U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases USAMRIID conducts basic and applied research on biological threats resulting in medical solutions to protect military service members. USAMRIID, an organization of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, is the lead medical research laboratory for the U.S. Biological Defense Research Program. The Institute plays a key role as the only laboratory in the Department of Defense (DoD) equipped to safely study highly hazardous infectious agents requiring maximum containment at biosafety level (BSL)-4. As the center of excellence for DoD medical biological defense research, USAMRIID's challenge is to maintain its world-class scientific and technology base while being responsive to its primary customer-the warfighter. To conduct basic and applied research on biological threats resulting in medical solutions to protect the warfighter.
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Foreign Disease Weed Science Research Unit The USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Foreign Disease-Weed Science Research Unit has two distinct missions united by a common relationship to plant pathology and the unit's unique P-3 plant pathogen laboratory and greenhouse containment facilities. The mission of the Foreign Disease program is to develop techniques for the rapid detection and identification of new and emerging crop pathogens. Research is conducted to provide fundamental information on emerging pathogens for risk assessment and the development of practical phytosanitary regulations for the import and export of agricultural commodities and germplasm. The Foreign Disease program is within National Program 303, Plant Diseases. The mission of the Weed Biological Control program is to collect foreign pathogens overseas from weeds in their native habitat, and to evaluate, characterize and release the pathogens in the U.S. for biological control of introduced weeds, leading to improved, sustainable weed control practices in agricultural systems with reduced dependence on chemical herbicides. The Weed Biological Control program is within National Program 304, Crop Protection & Quarantine.
