The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) is the Department of Defense's principal laboratory for medical biological defense research. Its mission is to provide cutting-edge medical capabilities to deter and defend against current and emerging biological threat agents. An integral part of this mission is training military and civilian medical and public health professionals to proficiently recognize early warning signs of a biological attack, mobilize the appropriate agencies and personnel to investigate the event, care for casualties, and prevent the spread of disease.

This application condenses essential information found in USAMRIID's training and education courses on concerning biological threat agents, serving as a quick reference for identifying these agents in the field. The app also offers links to additional resources and contact information for emergency response in suspected biowarfare or bioterrorism situations.
