U.S. officials say the top U.S. military officer has designated five U.S. bases where American troops would be housed and isolated for 21 days upon returning from Africa after serving in the Ebola-response mission including Fort Bragg.

CBS News Military Analyst Mike Lyons tells NCN News why Fort Bragg was a logical choice

"It has a lot of capabilities that are not just from the army's perspective it has, I would say, the air force component which is really key in the sustainment operation that is taking place right now overseas."

Other bases are Fort Hood and Fort Bliss in Texas, Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state and Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia. The U.S. also hopes to use bases in Italy and Germany for troops based in that region.
