NETEC is proud to support the first operational deployment of the new HHS Portable Biocontainment Unit, a pivotal component of Tranquil Passport, the largest full-scale exercise of its kind in HHS history. Led by ASPR, this four-day national exercise, tested the United States’ ability to isolate and safely transfer multiple patients with high-consequence infectious diseases during a simulated international health emergency. The event was timed in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will draw millions of visitors to North America, amplifying the need for advanced biosafety infrastructure and coordination.
