What happens to my relationship with ECBC if the military is engaged in a war effort?
As an agency of the U.S. Army, ECBC is first and foremost dedicated to protecting the warfighter through chemical and biological defense technology. While we respect the importance of working relationships with private industry, wartime demands would take precedence over cooperative work with industry or academia. However, all practical measures will be taken to ensure ECBC carries out its responsibilities to private and academic partners.
