What do you suppose is going to keep the military from getting the flu?
Because that's the way that I see them proposing it, as though they will be immune to it. One can only think with their tight working conditions together they would spread it just as fast if not faster than a normal nonmilitary scenario would.
And yet they would place to deem themselves as the as the hand that will keep the US rotating in the middle of what can only be seen just another yearly occurrence in the flu cycle.
Wake up people, they are positioning in this manner for a reason.
It has yet to be determined how many troops would be needed and whether they would come from the active duty or the National Guard and Reserve forces.
Civilian authorities would lead any relief efforts in the event of a major outbreak, the official said. The military, as they would for a natural disaster or other significant emergency situation, could provide support and fulfill any tasks that civilian authorities could not, such as air transport or testing of large numbers of viral samples from infected patients.
