 None of the troops showed symptoms of the deadly disease, a Pentagon
statement said.
The men and women landed at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia
and were taken to a specially prepared monitoring area, where they
will be screened twice a day.
Access to the area is restricted to medical and support personnel,
but the troops will be able to contact family and friends by
telephone and through social media.
The United States has more than 2,000 troops in Liberia as part of
the U.S. Ebola response mission. They were assigned to build up to
17 Ebola treatment units and provide mobile testing labs.
