What to expect from the DoD if h1n1 comes back with a vengeance. I found the fact that all the infrastructure is already in place very interesting.

Here is an HTML version of the report.

It is in place thanks to President Bush..but don’t expect to hear that from the MSM or Obama...the Narcissist In Chief.

It is interesting; but not surprising considering the level of activity I’ve been seeing in our area. I suspect that “lock down” fear is going to seize the informed population before long. It’s something we’ve already planned for.

H1N1 is not the threat, even in worst case scenario. Everybody is planning for H5N1, with possible 30M US dead, as the big one.

However, what DoD is planning will not be how it would go down. To start with, with an international pandemic, the first DoD operational response would be to transport personnel and their families from around the world back to the US, into quarantine. This could include tens of thousands of US citizens around the world, military and government personnel, being flown to military airbases, like Pope AFB in North Carolina.

While they were doing this, nearby Fort Bragg would be erecting tent compounds to receive people for the quarantine.

If things were particularly bad in Mexico, central and South America, and the Caribbean, the “southern front” military bases, Pendleton, Irwin, Huachuca, Hood, Bliss, Polk and Benning, would be tasked to prevent refugees coming up here.

Inside the US, the military would be at the beck and call of the CDC in Atlanta. National Guards would handle most State activities.

And just because there is a flu epidemic, doesn’t mean that other natural disasters won’t hit. And *that* would probably open a military response with emergency equipment and help.
