It wasn’t always called DTRA. A few years ago it was called DSWA.
Good thing the neocons re-spun the name of the agency, because how would it sound on the “news” if they had to tell us the Ukraine bio-labs were operated under the auspices of the Defense Special Weapons Agency?
I’m sure none of this is news to you Chief, but others are reading along.
DTRA is in fact the successor agency to the Manhattan Project. It has had many names over the years, and and acquired other organizations as it evolved. That said, CTR’s mission is just that -Counter Threat Reduction. Not a single one of these labs is a U.S. facility.
