Bio defense history
Bio-defense started with the united states army medical unit in 1956 at fort Derick,Maryland. the USAMU mission was purely against bio agents as oppose to weapons development. The USAMU was disestablished in 1969. The United States Department of Defense has focused on more vaccine based bio-defense.
