           1. WE RECEIVED YOUR REQUEST TO RETURN A FEMALE FLIGHT SURGEON  :
           (CAPT SCHOESFEL, AFSC 93561 TO HOME STATION FROM CAIRO WEST. 
          
           2. PRESENTLY, THERE ARE ONLY TWO FLIGHT SURGEONS ON STATION AT CAIRO
           WEST, (TWO MALES, MAJ SCHOEFFEL, FROM BENTWATERS, AND MAJ BRODSTON
           ANG). WE BELIEVE THAT MAJ SCHOEFFEL MAY BE WHO YOU WERE LOOKING FOR.
           
           3. IN ANY EVENT, WE ARE DENYING THE REQUEST TO RETURN MAJ SCHOFFEL TO
           HOME STATION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
           
           A. THERE ARE ONLY TWO FLIGHT SURGEONS ASSIGNED TO THE DEPLOYED
           LOCATION.

           B. WE ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE FOODBORNE AND
           WATERBORNE INFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKS.
   
           C. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 250 CASES OF ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS SINCE
           14 APRIL AT THAT LOCATION AND REDEPLOYMENT OF ANY MEDICAL PERSONNEL
           FROM THAT LOCATION IS NOT PRUDENT AT THIS TIME.

           4. IF MAJ SCHOEFFEL IS REQUIRED TO REDEPLOY TO SUPPORT THE MISSION
           AT BENTWATERS, PLEASE ADVISE VIA MESSAGE ASAP. WE WOULD LIKE
           YOUR SUPPORT FOR ANOTHER FLIGHT SURGEON TO BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO HIS
           DEPARTURE FROM THIS THEATER.

           5. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
