Does US DoD have a history of getting involved when a flu or virus pops up? (other than vaccinating employees)

The very, very real problem is people know there is a magic serum and with that limited availability...the government will need to decide, who, where, when, and even if you get it.

Yes, the DoD has always been involved in infectious disease control.

The Walter Reed hospital was named after a US Army physician who was instrumental in understanding the transmission of yellow fever, enabling this disease to be brought under control. The US military continues to research a wide variety of infectious diseases. The Walter Reed hospital has a large research facility, although such research takes place at a number of facilities across the country.
