Welcome to Fort Detrick, one of the most unique installations in the U.S. Army, and a great place not only to work, but also a fantastic community to live in. It is my honor to be a part of the worldwide mission Fort Detrick has, supporting five cabinetlevel agencies: the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Agriculture, Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Veterans Affairs. What makes Fort Detrick unique? We conduct research to protect not only our military, but the citizens of the United States and the world from some of the deadliest diseases on the planet with the newest state-of-the-art facilities and brightest scientific minds. We also are home to the Washington-Moscow “hotline” – allowing instant communications between the U.S. President and leader of the Russian Federation. Just last year, we joined the 21st Signal Brigade in celebrating the 50th anniversary of this important tool of diplomacy. Fort Detrick may be small in size compared to other Army installations, but we are the largest employer in Frederick County, and a proud winner of the Frederick County Best Places to Work 2014 award. Fort Detrick has nearly 11,000 Service Members, federal civilians and contractor employees working here. You will find we have a complete array of facilities and programs available for you, including an Army and Air Force Exchange Service shopette, a beautiful commissary, the Barquist Army Health Clinic, a dental clinic, Army Community Service, a Child, Youth and School Services center, fishing at Nallin Pond, our Nallin Farm Recreational Area and so much more. Once you get outside the gates of Fort Detrick, I think you will discover that Frederick is not only a great place to work, with a community and local government that supports both Fort Detrick and those working here, but it is also a wonderful area to live in. Located in the Catoctin Mountain area of Central Maryland, the Frederick area is awash with historic landmarks, including Antietam National Battlefield and Gettysburg National Battlefield, both just a short drive away, scores of local running and hiking trails and something going on almost every weekend. I encourage you to get out and explore the area; be involved not only in your command, but in the community as well. As you and your family are preparing to relocate, I want to personally thank you for serving our great Nation and for your dedication and commitment to the United States. It is an honor to serve and work with you. Welcome to Fort Detrick!

FOREST GLEN ANNEX Fort Detrick formally assumed command of the Forest Glen Annex on October 1, 2008, and operational control in February of 2009. Fort Detrick also acquired the Glen Haven military housing, a Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) Project, administered by Balfour Beatty. The Balfour Beatty Community is about two miles north of the Forest Glen Annex and just inside the town of Wheaton, Maryland. The Forest Glen Annex, part of the Fort Detrick installation, supports Army and Navy medical research units such as the Uniformed

Services University of the Health Sciences Medical Simulation, National Museum of Health and Medicine (NMHM), DoD and TriService Support Agencies, as well AAFES, Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) Commissary, one of the Zachary Taylor Fisher Houses and various Soldier support efforts.

Finding the Forest Glen Annex

The Forest Glen Annex is located within the boundaries of Silver Spring, Maryland, a

Fort Detrick Community Guide 2015-2016

city which offers modern housing, schools, recreation areas, excellent utilities, and highway access to major metropolitan areas of Washington, District of Columbia. Forest Glen is just off Interstate 495 (Washington Beltway) at Exit 31B, at the exit for US 97 South, also known as the Georgia Avenue exit. After exiting, turn right on Seminary Road and follow Brookville Road to the main gate of the annex. To access the Glen Haven housing area, take exit 31A, US 97 North. Travel about 1 Â˝ miles north. Turn right at the light onto Windham Lane. The Balfour Beatty Community will be on the left.

History

The Forest Glen Annex is a 136-acre U.S. Army installation in the Forest Glen neighborhood of Silver Spring, Maryland. It is situated between Brookville Road and Linden Lane. Since 1999, the Annex has been the site of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and the Naval Medical Research Center, along with smaller units. The Forest Glen property was acquired by the Army during the World War II era. The Army seminary buildings and grounds of the annex were turned over to the Montgomery County government and were subsequently sold to a land developer. This 27-acre National Park Seminary Historic District remains under development. The area now known as the Walter Reed Forest Glen Annex, after many decades under the tenancy of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, District of Columbia, was transferred on October 1, 2008 to the installation commander, Fort Detrick, Maryland. The associated Glen Haven housing area in nearby Wheaton, Maryland, also now owned by Fort Detrick, has 240 quarters for enlisted Soldiers and for officers in grades 0-1 through 0-3. In addition to the large research laboratories located in the annex’s Daniel K. Inouye Building, the post includes a commissary, post exchange, outdoor recreation resource center and a Fisher House. There are also football, baseball, and picnicking fields. The land on which the Forest Glen Annex now stands was originally part of a huge tract belonging to the influential Carroll family of colonial times. During the Civil War, the land was owned by Alfred Ray, a southern sympathizer. In July of 1864, Ray allowed the troops of Confederate General Jubal Early to encamp on his land, before sallying down nearby Brookville Road for an unsuccessful raid on Washington, District of Columbia. Ray spent time in a federal prison for his action. During the period 1887 to 1894, the site was a shortlived hotel and casino, part of an ill-fated land development scheme. A prestigious finishing school, the National Park Seminary occupied the site between 1894 and 1936, after which a women’s junior college, the National Park College, was located there between 1937 and 1942. With U.S. involvement in World War II, the Army’s Walter Reed General Hospital needed more space for the convalescence and rehabilitation of returning veterans. Exerting

its authority under the War Powers Act, it bought the National Park College for $800,000 in 1942. In addition, the Army bought a much larger area of over 100 acres to the south of the school - then an operating dairy farm and a former tobacco plantation - which are now the operational portion of the installation. From 1942 through 1977, several buildings at the north end of the post housed the Walter Reed Army Convalescent Center-Forest Glen Annex, where Army providers treated Soldiers wounded in Europe, Korea and Vietnam. Services included prosthetics, audiology, speech therapy, rehabilitation and a therapeutic

art studio. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. When the last patient was discharged in 1977, the Army largely abandoned these buildings. In the late 1990s, U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes directed that funds be used for site stabilization of the old National Park College. In 1999, the Army began taking formal steps to access the area now known as the National Park Seminary Historic District. In accordance with the most recent Base Realignment and Closure recommendations, the Forest Glen Annex became home to the National Museum of Health and Medicine (exhibit featured in image at left).

HISTORY

HistorY oF Fort detrick U.S. Army Garrison Fort Detrick Fort Detrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service to the Nation carries on the legacy of the Frederick County patriots who played major roles in the development of the Nation. Five farms originally constituted what is today known as Area A, or the main post area, where most activities are located. Fort Detrick traces its roots to the small municipal airport known as Detrick Field in the 1930s. The first military presence was the encampment of the 104th Aero Squadron of the Maryland National Guard. It was named Camp Detrick to honor squadron surgeon Maj. Frederick L. Detrick who served in France during World War I. Major Detrick died in June 1931, two months before the first encampment, August 10, 1931. Detrick Field was a cadet pilot training center until December 1941. The 2nd Bombardment Squadron, U.S. Army Air Corps, was reconstituted at Detrick Field between March and September 1942, when it deployed to England became the nucleus of the new Eighth Air Force headquarters. The U.S. Biological Laboratories were established at Detrick Field in 1943, achieving pioneering efforts in decontamination, gaseous sterilization, and agent purification. Camp Detrick became Fort Detrick in 1956, continuing its mission of biomedical research and its reputation as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading research campus for agents requiring specialty containment. The offensive biological warfare program was disestablished in 1969.

1889 Fort Detrick was named after Frederick Louis Detrick, born April 21, 1889, in New Market, Maryland.

Camp Detrick circa, 1931 Building 470 was the Piolt Plant after 1952.

Fort Detrick Community Guide 2015-2016

The closing of the former biological warfare laboratories gave way to a period of transition in the 1970s. Former laboratories and land were transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Cancer Research and Development Center was established in 1971, now called the Frederick National Laboratory. The installation has since grown in the scope of its operations and now has an interagency campus, which houses all of the military services as well as non Department of Defense organizations. The installation has matured as a center for advanced biomedical research and development, medical materiel management, and longhaul telecommunications for the White House, Department of Defense, and other governmental agencies. The National Interagency Biodefense Campus is here and co-locates the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, all in an effort to provide opportunities for scientific coordination, education and partnerships. Fort Detrick was annexed into the city of Frederick in

1983, and to this day partners with the city on many progressive endeavors that benefit everyone in the community. Fort Detrick is one of the largest employers in Frederick County with more than 11,000 Service Members, federal civilians, and contractors, bringing millions of dollars into the community through salaries and contracts. Many of its people teach in local schools and colleges and serve as members of service and charitable organizations. Fort Detrick has four structures on the National Historic Register, including the Nallin Farm House, the Bank Barn, Spring House, and the One-Million Liter Sphere, also called the”Eight Ball.” Fort Detrick is recognized as a Community of Excellence.

1971 Workers perform a test on the One-Million Liter Sphere, also known as the “Eight Ball,” the largest aerobiology chamber constructed.

Techniques were devised for detecting, sampling, and identifying a great variety of pathogens and their toxic products.

For the individual, we can assist in preparing detailed budgets for the future. This is especially helpful to people who are about to be married, have a child, or relocate. For those who are experiencing or anticipate financial difficulties, we offer counseling and several publications to help get the situation corrected. Clients are encouraged to work with their creditor to gain stable, manageable financial positions. Baby Bundles provide a basic layette to Service Members E5 and below, and to all ranks expecting births of multiples. The FRP also offers coupons for saving money on household expenses. Relocation Readiness Information, Referral & Follow-up Program (IR&F) The Relocation Readiness Information, Referral and Follow-up program supports Soldiers, civilians and their families relocating from installation to installation. Services include in-processing, out-processing, Permanent Change of Station, newcomerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s briefings, sponsorship training, home buyer, and re-entry

RRP staff provides ongoing one-on-one inprocessing to newly arrived persons to aid and assist with relocation and settling in services. Hours: 7:45 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ACS Outreach Program Community Support Center The ACS Outreach Program enhances readiness and retention by helping Soldiers and families develop a stronger sense of self-reliance and belonging in the military. Outreach targets those families who have the greatest level of need, but are least likely to seek out and take advantage of services until they have reached a state of crisis. Outreach focuses on three main areas: education and prevention, direct services, and organizing support networks to encourage self-help and cultivate a sense of ownership within the military community. The Family Readiness Group (FRG) The FRG is organized to provide mutual support for a unit’s family members. FRG forms the third component of the Army’s family support system during deployment. It operates during periods of normal operations in close coordination with the affiliated unit and, if convenient, with ACS or the Reserve Component Family Program coordinator’s office.

Hours: 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) The Department of Defense remains committed to eliminating sexual assault from the ranks of the military. Sexual assault is a crime. It inflicts incalculable harm on victims and their families; it tears at the very fabric of civilian and military communities; and it destroys trust among individuals and faith in

our institutions. The DOD has made significant progress in combating sexual assault by introducing a comprehensive sexual assault prevention and response policy, and implementing it across the military services. Note: All military Service Members, the 24/7 Sexual Assault hotline pager number has changed to a 24/7 hotline telephone cell number, (240) 674-2802.

For more information or to arrange unit training, contact the SARC at (301) 619-3050. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Two Reporting Options for Victims 1.

Legal Assistance Free legal advice to active duty and retired military members and their dependents is available at 521 Fraim Street. Limited services are provided to reservists on issues pertaining to their preparation for deployment. The legal assistance office is open for client services from 8 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and from 1 p.m.– 4:30 p.m. each weekday. Clients must come to the office for assistance due to confidentiality and the need to verify identity. For more information call (301) 619-2221. Military and/or Army civilian attorneys advise on most areas of civil law pertaining to personal matters. These include consumer law issues (such as scams and I.D. theft); landlord/tenant disputes; contract review; creditor and other consumer law problems; child and spousal support; immigration; civilian administrative matters (licensing and motor vehicle laws); wills; powers of attorney; bankruptcy and indebtedness; separation/divorce; notarizations and income taxation. Matters that are not included or beyond the scope of Army Legal Assistance: • We do not advise on private commercial business activities or matters involving labor and employment law, or assist with lawsuits or claims against the United States government. We do not file lawsuits or make court appearances. • Services for traffic accidents and other torts and civilian criminal charges are limited to counseling and referral to private attorneys. Military criminal matters are referred to the U.S. Army Trial Defense Service. More details on types of cases and services provided: • For separation/divorce counseling, the Fort Detrick office assists only one party in the matter--the first spouse to make an appointment. The other spouse must obtain legal advice from other military legal offices in the area. • Documents granting power of attorney can be prepared for clients. This is a document that authorizes your agent (the person you name) to act on your behalf. A general power of attorney allows your agent to act on all matters; a special power of attorney allows your agent to act only on those matters you listed; and a medical care power of attorney allows your agent to act regarding medical treatment for yourself or a minor family member. While these documents can often be prepared with no advance notice, please call

(301) 619-2221 to provide data necessary for the drafting of a power of attorney. • Your Last Will and Testament is the document that directs who will receive your property when you die. A will is also important to nominate a guardian for your minor children. If you die without a will, the state of your domicile will decide how to divide your property based on its “law of descent and distribution.” • Consultation for a Last Will and Testament will include a broader discussion about all the property you own and how you own it. This is because there are other means besides a will that controls who receives your property when you die. So, be prepared to discuss your estate plan, not just your will. Your estate plan includes a discussion of beneficiary designation forms, bank survivorship or transfer-at-death accounts, “pay on death” certificates and other such arrangements that transfer property at death according to such a contract. Deeds, titles, certificates and other paper evidencing ownership of capital would cause property to pass by law to a joint owner. Therefore, your cooperation in completing a comprehensive questionnaire is necessary for the attorney to advise and prepare your estate plan. • Walk-in attorney appointments for 30 minutes are normally permitted on Thursday afternoons starting at 1 p.m. on a first come, first served basis for minor legal assistance problems. Clients seeking guidance on divorce, child custody, marital separation, will drafting or complex legal matters should call (301) 619-2221 to schedule an appointment with an attorney. Income Tax Program Each year the Legal Assistance Office solicits the appointment of Service Members to serve in the Fort Detrick Tax Center in a special-detail status. We also recruit civilians to volunteer in the Fort Detrick Tax Center. The Tax Center operates under the auspices of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program site.

The Tax Center opens in mid-January and remains open until the deadline to file returns to the Internal Revenue Service, usually April 15. Those eligible for legal assistance are eligible for this free service. The location changes each year, so look to the Fort Detrick Webpage for details on location, hours and what to bring to make your visit a one-stop success.

Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO2) Treatment for mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) is the administration of oxygen in a chamber at greater than sea-level atmospheric pressure in which oxygen becomes increasingly dissolved in the blood, resulting in greater than normal every day oxygen tension in cells and tissues in the body. There is some compelling anecdotal evidence to suggest this may be beneficial in the treatment of acute and chronic symptoms linked to Traumatic Brain Injury. Stronger evidence must be obtained prior to determining whether HBO2 should be used as a treatment for TBI. Neurotrauma and Psychological Health (NPH) was formed in May 2011 to support advanced development of materiel and select nonmateriel (medical knowledge) products to protect, sustain and care for Warfighters with TBI and psychological health issues including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Additionally, NPH provides advanced development assistance to the USAMRMC Military Operational Medicine and Combat Casualty Care Research Programs and associated Joint Program Committees.

Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP)

The beginning of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs can be traced to the early 1990s when a grass roots advocacy movement campaigned for an increase in breast cancer research funding. The U.S. Congress responded with an initial appropriation of $25 million in 1992 to be managed by the Department of Defense’s U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). The following year, Congress appropriated $210 million to the Department of Defense for a competitive peer reviewed breast cancer research program, thereby establishing the CDMRP. Since then, the CDMRP has evolved into a global funding organization for biomedical research that spans many different research areas including many cancers (breast, lung, ovary, prostate, etc.), neurological conditions (neurofibromatosis, ALS, Alzheimer’s, tuberous sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, etc.), as well as clinical and rehabilitative medicine (vision, orthotics and prosthetics, etc.), each targeting a specific public and/or military need. In addition, the CDMRP works with the Defense Health Agency Joint Program Committees to execute extramural programs focusing on military-related research (traumatic brain injury, psychological health, orthopedic, spinal cord injury, etc.). The CDMRP has grown in size and scope, becoming the USAMRMC Execution Management Agency In 2014. To date the CDMRP is responsible for managing $8.7 billion in appropriations and funding over 12,400 research awards. Funding high-impact, cutting-edge research to improve the function, wellness and overall quality of life for military Service Members, as well as their caregivers, families and the

American public, is the thrust of the CDMRP’s programs. Being highly responsive to the current needs in each of its program’s disease or conditions communities, the CDMRP funds a wide spectrum of basic to applied clinical research to clinical trials. Each program’s funding strategy is adapted on a yearly basis to meet emerging needs of the patient and research communities, gaps in research and other barriers to progress in curing, rehabilitating or eliminating the disease or condition. Several features unique to the CDMRP research programs are: 1) funding research that is focused exclusively on the disease, condition or injury, as specified in congressional language; 2) integrating survivors and advocates into every aspect of the program management cycle; and 3) employing a twotier review that includes a traditional technical merit review followed by programmatic review, which distinguishes this review process from strictly pay-line funding and allows each program to fund research that best meets its goals and vision. The CDMRP strives to find and fund the best research for the benefit of the Warfighter and the American public while also ensuring the integrity of the public trust and providing transparency by making award information available to the public through a “Search Awards” feature, and downloadable program booklets and Annual Reports on the CDMRP website: http://cdmrp.army.mil/.

The Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC)

The Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC) is the headquarters for Navy medicine’s research and development enterprise that includes the NMRC laboratory and seven affiliated laboratories in the U.S. and overseas. The NMRC laboratory’s research focuses on infectious diseases, operational and undersea medicine, bone marrow research and registry, and biological defense research. The laboratory’s infectious disease researchers are focusing on minimizing the impact of infectious diseases by preventing infection or clinical diseases. The geographical distribution of a disease; the rapid emergence of drug resistance, and the lack of an effective vaccine, treatment, or other control measures; the mode of transmission; and the medical impact during past operations are factors determining the importance of infectious diseases to the U.S. military. In most cases, the best approach is the development of vaccines. Operational and undersea medicine researchers are focusing on the medical issues of Sailors and Marines in operational environments. Researchers are developing novel strategies to prevent and treat combat casualties with a focus on early, far forward interventions. One team studies traumatic brain injury including blast injuries, along or in combination with hemorrhage or other injuries. Another team is developing interventions to improve performance and reduce injury in Navy submariners and military divers. They are developing new technologies to prevent and treat decompression sickness and pulmonary and central nervous system toxicity associated with exposure to hyperbaric oxygen. A third team is studying composite tissue transplantation, stem cell biology and translational medicine. The C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruiting and Research Program is developing treatment methods for damaged bone marrow. Casualties with marrow toxic injury can recover normal function because a small number of remaining cells can restore function with medical support or more severely damaged marrow can be replaced by transplantation of hematopoietic cells from a normal, genetically matched donor. The C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program is connected with the National Bone Marrow Program. The Biological Defense Research Group, located at Fort Detrick, is researching ways to protect U.S. military personnel and civilians from the threat of infectious diseases and bio-

logical attack. The group is focused on genomics and bioinformatics, molecular diagnostics, immunodiagnostics, clinical research and operational and international field microbiology. The NMRC is located at the Forest Glen Annex in Silver Spring, Maryland, and shares the Senator Daniel Inouye Building with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. The diverse capabilities and geographic location of the other affiliated laboratories reflect a broad scope of research. The Naval Submarine Medicine Research Laboratory is studying enclosed atmospheres, submarine escape procedures, decompression sickness and hearing preservation. The Naval Health Research Center is focused on Warfighter performance, medical modeling and wounded warrior care. The researchers are leaders in epidemiological and behavioral studies including the largest longitudinal study, the Millennium Cohort study and the goldstandard in behavioral health surveillance. The Naval Medical Research Unit – Dayton is exploring performance and survivability through world-class aeromedical and environmental health research that includes research looking into pharmaceuticals for motion sickness and fatigue countermeasures. The Naval Medical Research Unit – San Antonio is collaborating with neurosurgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, to reduce postsurgical infections related to cranial implants to replace lost bone tissue.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

local ATTRACTIONS n Maryland (800) 543-1036 www.maryland.gov Capt. John Smith first explored Maryland in 1608. Since that time the state has furnished the nation with some of its most brilliant diplomats and patriots. Famous Marylanders include Benjamin Banneker, Francis Scott Key, Edgar Allen Poe, Upton Sinclair and Babe Ruth. The bravery of Maryland troops in the Revolution won the state its nickname, “The Old Line State.” Named after Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I of England, Maryland is the eighth smallest state in the union with a total area of 10,460 square miles. Two hundred Europeans settled Maryland in 1634 and the state has flourished ever since. Maryland was the seventh of the original 13 states to ratify the Constitution on April 28, 1788. In the War of 1812, a British fleet attempted to seize Fort McHenry in Baltimore. During a 25-hour bombardment from Sept. 13 to 14, 1814, American troops successfully defended the fort, inspiring antietam Marylander Frances Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner, which later became our national anthem. The historic sights of Maryland are a was the third largest city in the nation by 1860 with Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration great attraction for tourists and residents alike. and today is the 18th largest.

n Washington, d.c. (202) 789-7000 www.dchomepage.net The District of Columbia, named for George Washington and Christopher Columbus in 1791, is the seat of the federal government and the nation’s capital. This 63-square-mile city boasts a population of more than a half million residents with hundreds of sights and points of interest that attract visitors from around the world. The city’s climate is described as humid subtropical with the temperature in winter averaging 34 degrees and 77 degrees during the summer, although these are subject to wide fluctuations. Maj. Pierre L’Enfant designed Washington D.C. in 1791. It was the first American city planned for a specific purpose. L’Enfant laid out the city around numerous circles and squares connected by straight boulevards. The layout has often been described as reminiscent of a series of wagon wheels. This design, often described as brilliant, allowed for growth; however L’Enfant could not have foreseen the advent of automobiles in a nation of more than 230 million people. Four sections make up Washington: northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest. Any address is always followed by an abbreviation of the appropriate section of town: NE, SE, NW and SW. Washington has one of the most comprehensive and attractive public transportation systems on the East Coast, with Metro at the top of it all. The Metro not only connects the numerous sights in the city with each other, but the subway also branches out to parts of Virginia and Maryland. n antietaM National Battlefield 5831 Dunker Church Road Sharpsburg, MD 21782 (One mile north of Sharpsburg, MD, on Route 65.)
