DRDC Suffield is a major Canadian military research facility located north of Suffield, Alberta and is one of seven centres making up Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC). ==History== The research facility commenced operations on June 11, 1941 as a joint British/Canadian biological and chemical defence facility as the Experimental Station Suffield under the administration of the Canadian Army. By the end of the Second World War, the station employed 584 personnel〔Dinosaurs to Defence - A Story of the Suffield Block〕 trained in chemistry, physics, meteorology, mathematics, pharmacology, pathology, bacteriology, physiology, entomology, veterinary science, mechanical and chemical engineering. In 1946, the station was placed completely in the hands the Canadian Army when the British withdrew their support. The responsibility for administrating the station, including the Suffield Block, was transferred to the Defence Research Board〔Dr. O.M. Solandt, (The Defence Research Board, The First Four Years: An Address to the Staff of the Defence Research Board in Ottawa Marking the Occasion of the Board's Fourth Birthday ), 30 March 1951〕〔Dr. O.M. Solandt, (Defence Research in Canada ), 11 May 1951〕 on April 30, 1947 by Order in Council PC 101/1727. In August 1950, the station was renamed to the Suffield Experimental Station (SES). In July 1967, the Suffield Experimental Station was renamed to the Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES). On December 1, 1971, the Canadian Forces Base Suffield (CFB Suffield) was officially created and allocated to Mobile Command.〔(Backgrounder - Canadian Forces Base Suffield )〕 A number of personnel and support functions were transferred from DRES to CFB Suffield and CFB Suffield was co-located with the Research Establishment. In 1974, the Defence Research Board evolved into the Research and Development Branch which was administered under the (Assistant Deputy Minister Materiel ) of the (Canadian Department of National Defence ). Another reorganization followed on April 1, 2000 when the Research and Development Branch was placed under the Assistant Deputy Minister Science & Technology and renamed to Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DRDC Suffield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
