Sometimes, a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III airlifter can be just what the doctor ordered to help prevent the spread of Ebola virus disease. In August 2019, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) responded to a request from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to assist in transporting a bulk quantity of the Ebola vaccine material from Germany to Pennsylvania. Because of DTRA’s partnership with BARDA, the C-17 transported bulk vaccine material — on time — from Germany to Pennsylvania. DTRA helped avert a disruption in facility schedules and assured that 100,000 doses of the Ebola vaccine could be available for people in the DRC.
