The United States Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), Cairo, Egypt, has been in continuous operation studying infectious diseases of military importance since its establishment in 1946, even during the lapse in diplomatic relations from 1967-1974. Other overseas research laboratories of the Naval Medical Research and Development Command include NAMRU-2 in Jakarta, Indonesia, with a detachment in Manila, and the Naval Medical Research Institute Detachment Lima, Peru. Comparable U.S. Army overseas research laboratories are located in Thailand, Brazil, Korea, and Kenya. Department of Defense overseas laboratories conduct research on infectious diseases endemic to their respective geographic regions which could adversely impact on the health of deployed military forces. This article describes the history of one such laboratory, NAMRU-3, and the important infectious disease research it conducts to enhance the health of military forces deployed to its strategic geographical region of the world.
美国海军第三医学研究单位（NAMRU - 3）位于埃及开罗，自1946年成立以来一直在持续开展研究，关注具有军事重要性的传染病，即便在1967年至1974年外交关系中断期间也是如此。海军医学研究与发展司令部的其他海外研究实验室包括位于印度尼西亚雅加达的NAMRU - 2（在马尼拉设有一个分遣队）以及秘鲁利马的海军医学研究所分遣队。美国陆军类似的海外研究实验室位于泰国、巴西、韩国和肯尼亚。国防部的海外实验室针对各自地理区域特有的传染病开展研究，这些传染病可能会对部署在当地的军事力量的健康产生不利影响。本文介绍了其中一个这样的实验室——NAMRU - 3的历史，以及它为增进部署到世界战略地理区域的军事力量的健康而开展的重要传染病研究。
