MN Guard Cancels Trip To Liberia

Number Of West Africans Infected With Ebola Dropped

Members of the Minnesota National Guard won’t be going to Liberia to help the military’s response to the Ebola outbreak.

Soldiers from the Rosemount-based 34th Red Bull Infantry Division were supposed to go to Liberia this year in support of Operation United Assistance. But it is no longer required.

They were expected to arrive in April and depart in late fall. But the number of West Africans who have become infected with Ebola has dropped dramatically.
