U.S. Army Africa and other U.S. military personnel supporting Operation United Assistance will be returning to their respective home stations soon. Protocols for their returns have been developed to ensure their safety and minimize the possibility of Ebola virus infection elsewhere. U.S. Navy Lt. Andrea McCoy explains how to submit samples to the Naval Medical Research Center mobile laboratory to a health worker. The NMRC sent two mobile testing labs to Liberia to support Operation United Assistance. Each two-person lab is capable of testing up to 80 samples per day. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the lead U.S. Government organization for Operation United Assistance. U.S. Africa Command is supporting the effort by providing command and control, logistics, training and engineering assets to contain the Ebola virus outbreak in West African nations.
