Aberdeen Proving Ground Sends Chemists To Help With Ebola Outbreak

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (WJZ) — Aberdeen Proving Ground is sending a team of Army chemists to West Africa to help with the Ebola outbreak.

Marcus Washington has the plan to battle the deadly virus.

This mission is not like many others. Instead of heading into a combat zone, these soldiers are joining a humanitarian mission.

In Army tradition, family members, loved ones and fellow soldiers are sending the unit off with a colors painting ceremony, where they cover the flags until the unit arrives in Liberia.
