    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.

    ERDC Permafrost Tunnel hosts biological agent exercise

    A three-day, multi-agency exercise took place at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Permafrost Tunnel Research Facility in Fox, Alaska. The 82nd Chemical Reconnaissance Detachment, along with representatives from ERDC’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), U.S. Army Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM), U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), 11th Airborne Division Command Surgeon, 103d Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team, and Naval Research Laboratory, conducted the exercise to test Soldiers' ability to quickly and accurately sequence bacteria in extreme cold and arctic conditions.
