Why would you be arguing with me about the 3,000 troops all this time?

I think the number is too high and exposes too many people to infection by the virus. The vast majority of them will be non-medical personnel. And IMO DOD should not be the lead agency.

As far as the CDC which is almost entirely domestic, do they even have the authority to run massive international operations, and the leadership? This is from the 1990s “The authority of CDC, for instance, does not cover international disease control and prevention, and USAID has limited technical and financial resources in this area.”

I provided you information from the CDC website. They have a global mission. They have hundreds of people stationed overseas along with those acting as US reps in international health organizations. CDC gathers information from all over the world.

CDC Mission, Role and Pledge

The vast majority of US State Department personnel work in the US. The same holds true for DOD.

Well the Army that has been working on infectious diseases for centuries, has people overseas, and it really bugs you so much that you cannot seem to accept it.

Just like you keep going on about the 3,000 troops when I agree on them, and have never said anything else, you just can't seem to get anything into your head, as you have continued pretending that you are arguing with me about the 3,000.

You just keep chanting CDC, but you might as well take the opportunity to learn something about what you know nothing about, the military's involvement in disease and infection outbreaks, and Sars and Ebola, internationally.
