The military names five U.S. bases to be used for Ebola quarantine

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said those bases include Fort Hood in Texas and Fort Bragg in North Carolina. The military will also use two bases in Italy and Germany. Troops returning from Ebola missions in West Africa must be isolated and monitored for 21 days. It's a requirement for service members, but optional for Defense Department civilians. The U.S. Northern Command will train 30 medical support personnel to help with Ebola cases at hospitals across the U.S. The personnel will support another 30-member team that's already trained and ready to respond.
