“Historically, more military service members have died from dangerous infectious disease than from bullets. Over the last century, the U.S. military has made extensive investments to protect U.S. and allied forces from health security threats and confront and defeat these global threats. These investments remain essential to protect both the military and the general public.”
Admiral Jonathan Greenert, U.S. Navy (former)
