Permafrost Tunnel hosts biological agent exercise
Soldiers from the 82d Chemical Reconnaissance Detachment analyze biological agents "discovered" during a three-day, multi-agency exercise that took place at ERDC’s Permafrost Tunnel Research Facility in Fox, Alaska. One of the main objectives of the exercise was to help Soldiers familiarize themselves with Far-Forward Advanced Sequencing Technology (F-FAST), which was developed by DTRA and U.S. Army DEVCOM to quickly detect, analyze and sequence biological agents while still in the field.
