AlHijjah 9, 1435, Oct 3, 2014, SPA -- The Pentagon said Friday that the total number of American forces that could be deployed to West Africa in the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis could hit nearly 4,000, which is well above estimates of roughly 3,000 previously given. "We project that there could be nearly 4,000 troops deployed in support of this mission but we are obviously assessing the requirements on a daily basis," Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters. "It may not go that high," Kirby said.
