The U.S. government must protect the civilian population against biological agents that under “normal” circumstances have been significantly reduced or eliminated, such as anthrax and small pox. The challenge is to develop countermeasures to combat biological agents. The Department of Defense, in particular the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), has been developing countermeasures against bioterrorism agents for the last 30 years. The Army’s efforts concern only the solider in combat situations, which has an impact on how the Army addresses the issue of developing countermeasures. For example, the Army is only concerned about treating a select group of combat soldiers – young healthy adults with no known health problems. Also, the Army may only have to treat at most 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers. The Army’s demographics do not completely fit the civilian population, where the most severely affected individuals from a bioterrorism attack will be the young and old, immuno-compromised, and the sick. The good news is that the technology developed by USAMRIID has applications for the civilian population, but production capabilities will need to increase nearly 100 fold and clinical testing will need to include a wider spectrum of society.
