The Army s center for chemical defense, USAMRICD Web page has several sections of interest. The first in an extensive bibliography by year of all the book chapters and published scientific papers produced by the USAMRICD staff. The next section of importance is a downloadable version of the Institute s 1995 edition of the Medical Management of Chemical Casualties handbook. The links section may not be functioning, but could be a good gateway to other sites.

The procedure in its current state, including the DNA isolation procedure, takes about 1.5 working days and two overnight incubation steps, i.e., for dissolution of the DNA pellet and for adsorption of the 1st antibody. It appeared possible to set up the entire procedure for immunochemical determination of N7-HETE-dG within one half working day at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) and to generate data in the next one and a half working day.

Level IV The Chemical Casualty Site Team (CCST) is provided by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. This team provides clinical consultation and subject-matter experts in chemical casualty care. In addition, a veterinarian may be a designated member of this team. During the initial phases of an exercise, concern is primarily for casualties. In previous service response force exercises, however, many questions have also been asked about the safety of livestock, pets, and wildlife. The veterinarian has proven to be an extremely valuable source of information and an asset to this team.
