Photographed on October 24, 2014, by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall, Jr., this image depicts bio safety officer, Kristie Yeakle (Rt) in the process of evaluating two students as they sanitized their personal protective equipment (PPE) during a training session at the San Antonio Military Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. The students are part of a 30-person team designated for “prepare to deploy” status in the event of an Ebola crisis in the U.S.
Additional Information:
"To prepare the team, each member received lecture-based and practical training at SAMMC, organized by USNORTHCOM’s Army component, U. S. Army North (Fifth Army), and conducted by experts from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Frederick, Md."

"The first two days of training were focused on familiarizing the team with signs and symptoms of Ebola, how it spread in West Africa, how humans transmit the disease, and how medical officials are managing Ebola in the United States. The team spent the following two days learning the proper donning and doffing procedures of their personal protective equipment, along with demonstrating proficiency in safely caring for an Ebola patient in a simulated exercise."
