The deployment is expected to last nine months to a year.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers are engineers from the 615th Engineer Company, 52nd Engineer Battalion. All received special training and personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The post says none of the soldiers will be treating Ebola victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Kansas Guard soldiers deployed to west Africa <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state announced Sunday that about 170 soldiers from the 891st Engineer Battalion Headquarters will help build medical facilities in west Africa. They will leave next spring and be deployed for about six months, with the possibility of serving up to a year. It&#8217;s part of a national effort called Operation United Assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kansas Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanell says the state will do all it can to ensure the soldiers&#8217; safety. That will include training in protocols and preventative measures against the deadly disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers will begin training next month in Kansas and will receive more training at their mobilization station before they go to west Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Iowa Guard soldiers may go to Africa for Ebola outbreak <\/b><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iowa National Guard said Sunday that about 80 members of the 294th Area Support Medical Company are being notified that they may be deployed next spring to West Africa for six months to a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iowa soldiers would provide medial support to the humanitarian effort to help. The deadly Ebola virus has killed more than 5,000 people since the outbreak began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Guard says the Iowa solders would only provide care to Defense Department personnel and others sent to help, but they wouldn&#8217;t be treating residents of West Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span id=\"_oneup\"><b>Ohio guardsmen expected to aid in Ebola outbreak <\/b><br\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span id=\"_oneup\">A group of soldiers from the Ohio Army National Guard is expected to go to West Africa to help fight the Ebola outbreak in the region.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span id=\"_oneup\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daytondailynews.com\/news\/news\/local-military\/ohio-national-guard-unit-may-deploy-to-africa-to-f\/nh8S9\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.daytondailynews.com\/news\/news\/local-military\/ohio-national-guard-unit-may-deploy-to-africa-to-f\/nh8S9\/\">The Dayton Daily News reports<\/a> 130 soldiers from the unit may deploy in April, and could be in the region for up to a year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span id=\"_oneup\">The soldiers, part of the 16th Engineer Brigade, specialize in construction and infrastructure operations. The Ohio Army National Guard says there aren&#8217;t plans for the soldiers to directly aid Ebola victims.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span id=\"_oneup\">Service members will receive training and protective equipment before deployment, and all soldiers returning from Africa will be monitored to ensure they have not contracted Ebola.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span id=\"_oneup\">Ohio Army National Guard officials expect to know more about the possible deployment later this week.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Minn.

Gen. Neal Loidolt says the Guard members won&#8217;t be treating Ebola patients. The Guard&#8217;s expected to help support military operations in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guard members at a news conference organized by the Guard on Monday said they&#8217;re excited about the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Darrin Janisch of Savage has deployed many times, but says this one is different because it&#8217;s a humanitarian mission. Janisch says there&#8217;s a sense of pride in helping other human beings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soldiers from around the country are being deployed to west Africa to
