(from Project Manager Close Combat Systems).

Kirsten Taylor-McCabe, a bio-chemist program manager with Los Alamos
National Lab, said it wasn’t only her first time at the NTC, but also in the
field while supporting the Army. She said the visit gave her a look at technical
needs in field operations and hands-on subtleties.

Aleksandr Miklos, a biochemist researcher with Excet Inc., was also on a
first trip to this Army combat training center. He is working on a new sen-
sor that detects chemical agents and described the work as interesting and
challenging. The field experience has given the scientist (who has a Ph.D.
in biochemistry) an opportunity to see equipment, similar to the one he’s
developing, being used by Soldiers.

Miklos explained he studied his field many years before being employed
and now appreciates being able to assist the armed forces.

“I do want to help,” Miklos said.
The NTC has been very supportive to the 20th CBRNE, Miller said. She
mentioned that CBRNE units rotate through the NTC setting-up mock bio-
labs and radiological sites for CBRNE training purposes that benefit the Army.
“We’re extremely appreciative of [NTC allowing] us use of their facilities
in helping us build up this capability,” Miller said. “So, we come out here and
not only train our Soldiers, but allow other units to train on our mock sites.”
