This is a case of political correctness and military security allowing the uniformed "clerks" to play games. Like happened to Pres. Clinton and SACEUR Gen Clark in the 1999 Kosovo War
The Chemical Corps decontamination equipment is highly classified. It's presence in the deployment would be conspiracy theory central for the media and politically embarrassing without full CDC/WHO information campaign disclosure of the Ebola fomite threat.
The uniformed “clerks” can play games keeping the equipment out of the deployment and the DoD civilian leaders are too ignorant, operating outside of any known crisis frame of reference, that the game can be played.
If we don't hear about Chemical Corps decontamination troops in the deployment, we know the clerks have won this round...and a lot of poor GI Joe's are going to lose their health or their lives.
Maybe we should send in the clerks. They’re having trouble keeping stats over there, anyway.
This reminds me of the army troops sent near a desert testing of an A-Bomb in the 1950s. They were assured everything would be okay and yet a big percentage of them later developed cancers from the radioactivity.
