What exactly is the mission of the 101st Airborne and how are they suited for the mission?
(and heaven help us, mixing airborne and Øbola just hit me with the irony stick)
The 101st soldiers are going to be the Headquarters element
The 101st will supply 700 soldiers to what will be 3 to 4 thousand, they are half of the first 1400, (the other 700 being mostly engineers).
“About 300 of the troops from the 101st Airborne will come from the division headquarters, and they will serve as the Joint Force Command for the mission.”
“A 101st Airborne press release issued Tuesday evening stated the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Headquarters, Fort Campbell, will deploy as the Joint Force Command for Operation United Assistance in Monrovia, Liberia.
“Operation United Assistance is a critical mission,” said Maj. Gen. Gary J. Volesky, commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). “We will coordinate all of the Department of Defense resources in Liberia to support USAID and the government of Liberia to contain the Ebola virus and ultimately save lives.”
oh they wont be touching the people
and they wont be touching or be withing a 3 foot radius of anyone else who touched the people or anything the people touched (like the contractors and local labor force who will be building those hospitals and delivering those supplies
no sir, and they wont be touching anything the people touched (like money, or taxis, walls, stair railings or anything someone touched who had blood vomit or feces contact)
this in a country where pit latrines are high tech)
I want to see the good General who made this statement lead the way to Liberia in a mask and gloves with his bottle of GI issued hand sanitizer
Mixing airborne and Øbola hit me with the bullshit stick.
