Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak

CNN Blog Wire

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus — the swine flu — this fall, according to Defense Department officials.

The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

The officials would not be identified because the proposal from the U.S. Northern Command’s Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary.

    It should take you to the article titled Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak. That article links to the same text, but on the CNN website.
