Road Trip: Fort Detrick, Maryland

Fort Detrick is a United States Army Medical Command installation located in Frederick, Maryland. Historically, Fort Detrick was the center of the US biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969. Since the discontinuation of that program, it has hosted most elements of the United States biological defense program.

As of the early 2010s, Fort Detrick's 1,200-acre campus supports a multi-governmental community that conducts biomedical research and development, medical materiel management, global medical communications and the study of foreign plant pathogens.

It is home to the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), with its bio-defense agency, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). It also hosts the National Cancer Institute-Frederick (NCI-Frederick) and is home to the National Interagency Confederation for Biological Research (NICBR)and National Interagency Biodefense Campus (NIBC). Fort Detrick is the largest employer in Frederick County, Maryland.

Each branch of the U.S. military is represented among Fort Detrick’s 7,800 military, federal and contractor employees. Four cabinet-level agencies are represented by activities on the garrison: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

The offices and laboratories include the Agriculture Department's Foreign Disease and Weed Science Research Institute, the National Cancer Institute, the Naval Medical Logistics Command and the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center.

Currently under construction is a biotechnology campus that will house civilian and military research centers including units of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), as well as USAMRIID.

Well, listen to it on the cam. I just heard sirens, too. Thankful everything is ok there!

I might just leave the computer up for a while just to pretend it’s here. LOL!

I am listening to it on the cam. LOL!

But I think I’ll shut down and go burn some trash. Too much piled up and now’s a good time to get rid of a lot of it. Maybe all of it.

Taking My First Flight As An F/O Wednesday

Congrats! You're on your way!

[HiJinx]

Hmph. It’s gonna take longer to drive up to see them, now.
I have a niece who may be moving there soon. Her husband’s family ranches in the area.

[HiJinx]

Just checked the map to see how long your trip would be - and discovered that US 191 is the last leg of the drive. That highway bottoms out in Douglas, just 50 miles east of us. It runs the full distance of the U.S. from Mexico to Canada.
