President Barack Obama is expected to issue an executive order Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard forces to Liberia to help contain the Ebola outbreak there, sources told NBC News.

The sources said that eight engineers and logistical specialists from the Guard, both active-duty and reservists, would probably be included in the first deployment. They are expected to help build 17 Ebola treatment centers, with 100 beds apiece. The sources said that no decision had been made.

If the National Guard is out of the country they can’t be called to Ferguson when the riots start.

Just saying...

Do we have a Status of Forces Agreement with these countries? Wasn’t that the reason Obama left Iraq open for terrorist to take over?

Perhaps Obama can EXECUTIVE ORDER every white person in America to visit an infected home in Liberia for a month.

Why not?

Who'd stop him?

What we need to do is change the map to where Liberia shares a border with America like Mexico.

Then they will keep the National Guard away from there like the Plague.

My son is a National Guardsman. Sending him to Liberia would be, to put it simply, insane.

Impeach. Remove. Rinse. Repeat.

He will have to activate the Guard. And you can be sure that the Guard activated will be red States. And what the hell does he do when they come back. They will have to be quarantine for at least a few months to make sure they are not affected. Meanwhile America will not have the States right to have a real important local force if needed in a emergency such as a flood, earthquake, etc. King Obama is a rotten communists black Muslim traitor and knows putting down the National Guard is one more step to controlling America.

Not enough Americans are dying fast enough for King Obama. He hates the military,wants US citizens to be have even LESS protection.

It all fits.

He is an illegal muslim a-hole with a photoshopped birth certificate under the full protection of political correctness.

Once one accepts that, everything else makes sense.

Support Readiness Program....basically makes sure everyone is MOSQ'd, medically fit, has current vaccinations, has their paperwork in order, has the prerequisite training for the environment, reading on/off security information, signing up for Family Readiness Group, making sure Will's are current, etc.

SRQ is the questionairre that gives you a GO/NOGO for deployment. MY SRQ was NOGO due to heat stroke for deployment to IRAQ in 2008 for instance. I did not have the PULEEES number for deployment into a hot environment due to military caused exertional heat injuries (EHI).

Hope that helps.....miliary acronysms are a PITA IMHO. ;)
