I hope the chart helped inform you some of the variety of military missions regarding disease.
We already have some soldiers in Africa like we do during every outbreak of Ebola and during Sars and such, but here are what these 3,000 will be doing.
“The key elements of military response will focus on logistics, supplies, engineering, support for the Accra, Ghana, “air bridge” for transport of supplies and personnel to the epidemic, and the construction of at least 17 new hospital facilities designated for Ebola care.
The military will also build a training facility, which will rapidly teach infection control and self-protection procedures to hundreds of local and foreign health workers. The military hopes to process up to 500 health workers, both civilians and humanitarian responders, in a week.”
and to my suggestion : Volunteers ONLY ? And no ground pounder trigger pullers , being ordered into a virus danger zone on a non-volunteer basis ?
I just have to vote ‘ no cinfidence ‘ for the least qualified C&C that our Armed Forces have ever been saddled with in the entire history of their respectives Services . How/why they put up with this guy is a mystery to me . He is not worth their oath .
