„ First US biowarfare facility was started in April 1943 at Camp Detrick in quickly built facilities and in Air National Guard buildings that were adapted for use. „ The US Army Medical Unit (USAMU) was created in 1956 to develop the means to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases caused by biological warfare agents. „ President Nixon ended the Biowarfare R&D Program in 1969 but allowed continued development of medical countermeasures. „ USAMU was renamed USAMRIID, 27 January 1969.
