<p>RFA ARGUS is deployed to support the Government's efforts in Sierra Leone. Her
primary role is to act as a logistics lift capability and aviation platform, with
three embarked Merlin helicopters. RFA ARGUS does, however, have a limited medical
capability on board to treat disease and non-battle injury. Treatment of those suffering
from Ebola is carried out at separate facilities ashore, the first of which opened
in Kerry Town on 5 November and will have the capacity to treat 80 local patients.
Also at Kerry Town the UK military is currently manning a 12 bed treatment unit for
national and international healthcare workers.</p>
