I hope that POTUS has plans to reactivate retired career military of those who are say, under 55, still in good shape, and retired within the last 10 years. He is going to need them. Reactivating retired military can be done, but it takes time for the gears to engage, and we need to know that the surge of manpower that will be needed will be there.
Especially CBRN experts, EMS, Trauma, Nursing, etc. Those one would expect
Military Police, SASO Experts (Security and Stabilization Operations). Luckily we have some depth in that due to SASO operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Intelligence (we will also need to replace the rotten core in the IC with seasoned and experienced Patriots) and Emergency Planning Management.
You get the idea.
The military is already a very small percentage of our population, but with some of the best experience and skills in the very things we will need to manage this WuFlu crisis when this thing really goes sideways
I really hope some smart people are already drawing up lists.
Managing this crisis is going to require ALOT of manpower.
