RMS Assessment Report Final

Walser, Alex C.; Burnett, LouAnn C.

On behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Global Chemical and Biological Security (GCBS) group visited the Jordan Royal Medical Society (RMS) from 8 to 11 April 2019. The goal of this visit was to provide subject matter expertise and advisory support to DTRA/BTRP and RMS regarding RMS' desire to establish a self-sufficient biorisk management (BRIV1) training capability housed in a training centre programmed to provide biorisk management training to the Jordan military services and beyond. This report provides SNL/GCBS' assessment of the status of RMS' current and desired capability as a BRM Training Centre across four critical components: 1) Curriculum, 2) Trainers, 3) Oversight and Administration, and 4) Facility.
