Dear Mr. Faris,

I prefer to keep my communications over email so I'm able to do my own record keeping much easier. Hopefully, this doesn't inconvenience you greatly.
I do have some questions about your response, however. Is the intended interpretation that you do not possess any records specifically relating to the use of these systems by the Army Game Studio, or that you don't possess any records relating to the software's use by the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center in general?
I also previously believed that the Army Game Studio had a separate address at:
"Army Game Studio
6264 Hackberry Road
Huntsville, AL 35806"
Are they now located at the aforementioned center?

Thank you for your time,

Patrick Marshall
Civilian Researcher.

From: Faris, John L III CIV USARMY AMCOM (US)

Mr. Marshall,

I will coordinate with the AMRDEC FOIA Office and send you a response before end of month. Thank you for your patience.

Your subject Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request specified the Army Game Studio as the organization from which records were requested. Accordingly, you received a response that addressed your specific request for Army Game Studio records.

As an additional point of information, the AMRDEC FOIA Office has indicated after querying the Army Game Studio that it is not aware of an address within the City of Huntsville for the Army Game Studio. I hope this email sufficiently answers your question. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any further questions regarding the response to your FOIA request.
