ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- General Gustav Perna, commanding general of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, visited the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center on April 12. He was briefed on the capabilities of the Research, Development and Engineering Command's research laboratories, followed by a tour of ECBC facilities.
Accompanied by RDECOM Commanding General Maj. Gen. Cedric Wins and ECBC Director Joseph Corriveau, Ph.D., Perna toured the Filtration Science Laboratory and learned about ECBC's collaboration with other federal security agencies, industry, and academia. He also received a threat security briefing from ECBC threat experts.
The visit included a briefing on the Aberdeen Proving Ground Garrison's obsolete building demolition program, including discussion of the demolition of Building E-3300. Such demolition would relieve ECBC of the cost of maintaining a vacant building and make the building's footprint available for construction of a new generation of state-of-the-art research facilities.
