美国陆军公布了一项计划，让士兵做好应对生物攻击的准备，而非认为所有威胁都能被阻挡。
随着人工智能（AI）和生物技术引发人们对美国对手近期可能研发的武器的新担忧，这项新签署的计划首次将生物战场景纳入日常战斗训练。
“我们能保护每一名士兵免受所有可能的生物威胁吗？恐怕不行，”美国陆军核武器与大规模杀伤性武器反制局高级官员艾莉森·塔马西博士周一对记者表示。
“我们不能把他们放在泡泡里，”她补充道。
此次战略转变之际，俄罗斯一处抗鼠疫设施关联一起神秘死亡事件，美国官员仍在评估莫斯科是否仍在开展进攻性生物武器计划——这重新引发了人们对生物安全和透明度的质疑。

尽管如此，陆军仍希望其实施的计划能帮助部队在2035年前做好在生物污染环境中部署和作战的准备。
军方不再将生物疫情主要视为医疗紧急事件，而是希望指挥官、情报官员和后勤人员在继续执行作战任务的同时，做好应对生物威胁的准备。

最大的变革之一是将生物事件纳入陆军主要战斗演习，迫使指挥官在继续执行其他任务的同时应对潜在疫情暴发。
与以往依赖专门的生物演习不同，陆军希望各军事职能部门的士兵将应对生物威胁作为日常训练的一部分。
塔马西举例描述了一个场景：军事港口模拟诺如病毒暴发。医护人员努力控制疫情的同时，后勤官员必须确定如何确保关键物资的运输。

这个例子体现了陆军战略的更广泛转变：生物威胁不再仅被视为医疗问题，而是可能破坏军事行动的因素，指挥官必须做好应对准备。
“我们需要确保作战条令保持一致，”塔马西说，她解释说陆军正在研究如何评估全军的生物防御 readiness（生物防御 readiness 译为“生物防御就绪状态”）。
这项新计划于上周签署，落实了陆军9月发布的更新版生物防御战略，该战略设定的目标是让士兵在2035年前做好在生物污染环境中部署和作战的准备。
首个两年实施周期将侧重于制定政策、加强陆军各组织间的协调以及培养具备专业生物专业知识的人员。后续阶段预计将推出更先进的技术和采购工作。
此次行动正值人们越来越担忧人工智能和生物技术可能加速生物威胁的发展。
塔马西将这些进步描述为双重用途挑战：既能加速医学发现的技术，也可能更快地催生新的生物威胁。
俄罗斯仍是美国国家安全官员特别关注的对象。长期以来，美国评估认为莫斯科保留了从苏联继承的进攻性生物武器计划，尽管俄罗斯有《生物武器公约》规定的义务。
美国于1969年放弃进攻性生物武器，也是该公约的缔约国，该公约禁止研发、生产和储存生物武器。

美国与世卫组织要求俄罗斯提供细节，此前有第二例肺炎病例报告
28岁的达丽娅·希皮洛娃是西伯利亚伊尔库茨克抗鼠疫研究所的员工，她于10月2日因患上重症肺炎去世。俄罗斯媒体最初报道称，疑似实验室事故后可能出现了肺鼠疫感染，但俄罗斯当局否认发生过事故，并表示检测未发现鼠疫或其他高威胁病原体的证据。
她的死因仍未确定。世界卫生组织在10月10日的最新通报中表示，未发现与该病例相关的持续传播证据，同时指出仍缺乏确诊结果。
当被问及俄罗斯的生物武器活动在多大程度上影响了陆军的规划时，塔马西表示，该战略基于“广泛的情报”，而非任何单一对手。
“它并非仅针对某一个特定威胁行为体，”她说。
当被问及陆军从俄罗斯生物武器计划中汲取了哪些教训时，塔马西表示，该战略旨在应对生物威胁，无论其来源如何——无论是意外、蓄意，还是最终被证明并非最初担忧的那种威胁。
她解释说，对于陆军指挥官来说，当务之急是应对潜在的生物威胁并维持行动，而非确定其来源。归因问题将由更广泛的美国政府负责处理。
这种方法也指导了陆军如何计划检测新兴威胁。
官员们表示，军方正在努力整合来自环境监测、医疗设施和情报报告的信息，以便更早地发现潜在的生物事件。
塔马西说，这可能包括类似新冠疫情期间使用的废水监测。其目标是为指挥官提供更全面的潜在生物威胁图景，以便他们能在破坏蔓延之前做出响应。
据陆军官员称，新冠疫情也暴露了将生物威胁主要视为公共卫生紧急事件的局限性，这强化了非医疗领域的军事领导者将这些风险纳入作战规划的必要性。
该战略还将错误信息列为另一项作战挑战，尤其是在部队和指挥官必须在生物事件期间就疫苗、防护措施和沟通做出决策的时候。
陆军还开始为高级领导人举办生物防御研讨会。塔马西表示，一个三星级委员会认定，陆军高级领导人应至少接受一小时的生物防御以及生物威胁相关“实际情况”的培训。
最终，陆军希望让士兵做好在生物攻击下继续执行任务的准备，这也可能首先阻止对手使用此类武器。
塔马西表示，证明生物威胁不一定会阻止美军作战，可能会削弱对手部署此类武器可能获得的军事优势。

US soldiers can’t be protected from all bioweapons, Army admits amid troubling surge in threats
A newly signed plan brings biological warfare scenarios into routine combat exercises for the first time

AI arms race: Anthropic warns of bioweapons threat
Artificial intelligence systems face foreign exploitation, former CIA station chief Dan Hoffman warns. Hoffman joins to analyze a startling report from Anthropic detailing eight months of disrupted malicious operations targeting advanced models for cyberattacks and bioweapons development, emphasizing that the U.S. government must act aggressively to secure its critical technical infrastructure.

The U.S. Army unveiled its plan to prepare soldiers to fight through biological attacks rather than assume every threat can be stopped.
The newly signed plan bringing biological warfare scenarios into routine combat training as artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology raise new concerns about the weapons America’s adversaries could develop in the near future.
“Can we protect every soldier from every possible bio threat? Probably not,” Dr. Alison Tamasi, a senior official at the Army’s Nuclear and Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Agency, told reporters on Monday.
“We can’t put them in a bubble,” she added.
The shift comes as U.S. officials continue to assess whether Moscow maintains an offensive biological weapons program after a mysterious death in Russia was linked to an anti-plague facility — reviving questions of biological safety and transparency.

Still, the Army hopes their implemented plan will help prepare the force to deploy and fight in biologically contested environments by 2035.
Rather than treating outbreaks primarily as medical emergencies, the military wants commanders, intelligence officers and logistics personnel to prepare for biological threats while continuing to carry out their combat missions.
EMERGING TECH HAS NEW ARMY LEADERS WARNING TROOPS CAN’T ‘AI’ THEIR WAY TO VICTORY ON THE BATTLEFIELD
One of the biggest changes will be bringing biological incidents into major Army combat exercises, forcing commanders to respond to potential outbreaks while continuing their other missions.
Rather than relying on specialized biological exercises, the Army wants troops across different military functions to confront biological threats as part of their regular training.
Tamasi described one scenario involving a simulated norovirus outbreak at a military port. While medical personnel worked to contain the outbreak, logistics officers would have to determine how to keep critical supplies moving.

The example illustrates a broader shift in the Army’s approach: Biological threats are no longer being treated solely as medical problems but as potential disruptions to military operations that commanders must be prepared to manage.
“We need to make sure that doctrine is aligned,” Tamasi said, explaining that the Army is working to establish how biodefense readiness should be assessed across the force.
The new plan, signed last week, puts into motion the Army’s updated biodefense strategy released in September, which sets a goal of preparing soldiers to deploy and fight in biologically contested environments by 2035.
The first two-year implementation cycle will focus on establishing policies, improving coordination across Army organizations and developing personnel with specialized biological expertise. More advanced technologies and acquisition efforts are expected in later phases.
The effort comes amid growing concerns about the potential for artificial intelligence and biotechnology to accelerate the development of biological threats.
PLAGUE MYSTERY REVIVES CONCERNS OVER NOT-TO-SECRET RUSSIAN BIOWEAPONS PROGRAM
Tamasi described those advances as a dual-use challenge, with technologies that can accelerate medical discoveries also potentially enabling new biological threats to emerge more quickly.
Russia remains a particular concern for U.S. national security officials. Washington has long assessed that Moscow maintains an offensive biological weapons program inherited from the Soviet Union, despite Russia’s obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention.
The United States renounced offensive biological weapons in 1969 and is also a party to the convention, which prohibits the development, production and stockpiling of biological weapons.

US, WHO REQUEST DETAILS FROM RUSSIA AMID REPORTS OF SECOND PNEUMONIA CASE
Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia, died Oct. 2 after developing severe pneumonia. Russian media initially reported a possible pneumonic plague infection following a suspected laboratory accident, but Russian authorities denied that an accident occurred and said testing found no evidence of plague or other high-threat pathogens.
The cause of her death remains undetermined. In an Oct. 10 update, the World Health Organization said it had found no evidence of ongoing transmission linked to the case, while noting that a confirmed diagnosis was still lacking.
Asked how much Russia’s biological weapons activities informed the Army’s planning, Tamasi said the strategy was based on “intelligence writ large” rather than any single adversary.
“It’s not solely focused on a particular threat actor,” she said.
Asked what lessons the Army had drawn from Russia’s biological weapons program, Tamasi said the strategy was designed to address biological threats regardless of their origin — whether accidental, deliberate or ultimately determined not to pose the threat initially feared.
For Army commanders, she explained, the immediate priority is responding to a potential biological threat and maintaining operations, rather than determining its origin. Questions of attribution would involve the broader U.S. government.
That approach also informs how the Army intends to detect emerging threats.
Darya Shipilova, 28, an employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East, died after developing pneumonia of an unknown cause, prompting quarantines and heightened health precautions in the region. Russian authorities say testing has found no evidence her illness was linked to pathogens she worked with.(East2West news)
Officials said the military is working to draw together information from environmental monitoring, medical facilities and intelligence reporting to identify potential biological incidents earlier.
That could include wastewater surveillance similar to monitoring used during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tamasi said. The goal is to give commanders a more complete picture of potential biological threats so they can respond before disruptions spread.
The COVID-19 pandemic also exposed the limitations of treating biological threats primarily as public health emergencies, according to Army officials, reinforcing the need for military leaders outside the medical field to incorporate those risks into operational planning.
The strategy addresses misinformation as another operational challenge, particularly when troops and commanders must make decisions about vaccines, protective measures and communications during a biological incident.
The Army has also begun rolling out biodefense seminars for senior leaders. Tamasi said one three-star board determined that senior Army leaders should receive at least an hour of instruction on biodefense and the “ground truth” surrounding biological threats.
Ultimately, the Army hopes that preparing soldiers to continue their missions despite a biological attack could also discourage adversaries from using such weapons in the first place.

Tamasi said demonstrating that biological threats would not necessarily stop American forces from fighting could reduce the military advantage an adversary might hope to gain from deploying them.
