I haven’t been able to find the source that says the CDC has replaced the Army as our most powerful force for outbreaks of this type globally.
I also didn’t see your source telling us that these 3,000 troops are not mostly regular GIs.

When has the Army ever headed such an effort before? When was the Army given the lead mission of disease control?

How do you define "line troops" or regular GIs?

Meaningless and irrelevant because they run counter to your narrative about the role and the ability of the US military to counter this disease. There is no pool of trained military personnel to treat ebola.
