Gov. Perry Visits Troops Deploying to West Africa in Fight against Ebola
More than 500 troops from the 36th Engineer Brigade, 1st Medical Brigade and 85th Civil Affairs Brigade stationed at Ft. Hood are expected to deploy to Liberia by the end of this month. Approximately 200 troops stationed at Ft. Bliss, but assigned to aviation units at Ft. Hood, will also deploy. Their mission will be constructing facilities to be used in the housing and care of Ebola patients. The troops will not have contact with Ebola patients. The servicemen and women from Ft. Hood are part of a larger deployment recently announced by the Department of Defense that will send more than 3,000 troops to West Africa.

Sorry for seeing this very late.....
Texas Ping for a governor who cares for the troops!
BTTT
Famous last words....
Pretty horrifying mission. My hat’s off to them.
The DOD has training protocols and exchanges with dozens of countries and has been doing that for decades. Those have nothing to do with this specific mission, which is to set up medical facilities to isolate and treat the sick so the disease doesn’t spread further and to train locals to do the same. The Army also has an infections disease unit out of Ft. Detrick that has been in West Africa for the last 10 years. The US Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) at Ft. Hood is the source for most Army clinical and support personnel and is a direct reporting unit run by a three star. And the term you were struggling with is “jackanapes”.
Sounds sinister:
The "medical facility" has a front patient entrance, and a rear exit which leads directly to the crematorium.
Thanks. You are wonderful. The infectious disease unit, you propose- has never existed. Jack and apes, silly boy.
What is the term, you are struggling with, herr stormer?
You have no idea, of the breath/depth of US Military involvement. You are a spore. Keep it up.
You sound like a drunk. Go sleep it off.
Thanks. Okay, I will sleep it off.
When are you, going to deploy? Bad dad. When?
Come on, herr stormer. You are a bad azz, right? Then, speechify, little bitsy.
You mean Obola wasn’t there to wish them will. Imagine that.
I have no idea, as to who you are. My folks, know exactly who I am. Take good care.
well = will
When will Obama visit the troops he has sent to West Africa?
That'll be news to Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio.
Oops. Right you are. I wrote Hood but meant SH. At any rate, the comment I originally responded to was basically, “Why Texas?”.
