The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) is providing notice that it is releasing the new version of the MFTURP No. 1, effective April 1, 2011.

The inventions listed below are assigned to the United States Government as represented by the Secretary of the Army. The U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center intends to license these inventions exclusively in the field of virus detection in Agricultural and Veterinary Diagnostics and Agricultural and Veterinary Disease Detection, to NanoEngineering Corporation, a Florida Corporation with principal offices at 1717 Edgar StreetUnit 103, and West Palm Beach, Florida 33401-6976. The inventions to be licensed are U.S. Patent No. 6,051,189 issued April 18, 2000, and entitled ``System and method for detection, identification and monitoring of submicron-sized particles,'' U.S. Patent No. 6,485,686 issued November 26, 2002, and entitled ``Method and apparatus for counting submicron sized particles,'' U.S. Patent No. 6,491,872 issued December 10, 2002, and entitled ``Method and system for detecting and recording submicron sized particles,'' and U.S. Patent No. 7,250,138 issued July 31, 2007, and entitled ``Method and system for detecting and recording submicron sized particles.''

The Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, G-3/5/7, has reviewed the ``Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (FPEIS) for Realignment, Growth, and Stationing of Army Aviation Assets'' and has made the decision to proceed with the implementation of Alternative 3 (preferred alternative). Specific details of the decision are captured in the Army's ROD for this action. This ROD explains the Army will activate and station a new Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) at Fort Carson, Colorado, resulting in a total growth of approximately 2,700 Soldiers and 113 helicopters. As part of this decision, Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington, will receive existing aviation units that will be realigned from other locations and will gain approximately 1,400 new Soldiers and 44 helicopters. Implementation of this decision will include CAB training at each installation and at their respective satellite maneuver training areas: Pi[ntilde]on Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) for Fort Carson and Yakima Training Center (YTC) for JBLM. This alternative best supports the need for realignment, growth, and realignment of aviation units.
