101st Airborne trains to step into the breach.

Soldiers from across the 101st Sustainment Brigade in the 101st Special Troops Battalion, 129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, and 716th Military Police Battalion joined with members of Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 101st Airborne Division to receive special training for their upcoming humanitarian mission to West Africa to assist in combating the Ebola pandemic. The Soldiers received a force protection briefing outlying the dangers Soldiers will face from diseases that are endemic to the area and counter measures on how to keep them healthy and mission capable. Then a team of specialists from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and the West Virginia National Guard Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high yield explosive enhanced response force packages (CERFP) gave instructions on the use and proper wear of equipment that will prevent Soldiers from contracting Ebola Virus Disease.



These pictures fill me with dread.

I might have a tin foil hat on when it comes to this issue but I sincerely believe that we are not being told the real deal when it comes to Ebola...or worse, those in charge THINK they know when they really don't.

This will not end well.
