I am also going to check everyone on base then clean everything on base with bleach solution and or some other type of disinfectant.
To be honest I am way beyond my training and knowledge here. I am really hoping it isnt some type of fungal infection in that case we would all be screwed.
Plan 2
Send all the sick troops with additional firepower to nearest village to infect the local insurgents then start treatment plan above.
