There are two ways that DoD can be helpful in terms of expanding medical capacity,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefings-statements\/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-4\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pence told reporters<\/a>. \u201cI know the governor of New York has asked us to look at the Army Corps of Engineer which could perhaps renovate existing buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump said at the briefing that he gave the governors the right to order additional emergency medical supplies directly if they want, \u201cknocking-out\u201d the bureaucracy. \u201cIts very direct but its still always faster to order directly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pence said that the DoD would help both with medical supplies and augmenting hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are two different lanes that DOD can provide, in addition to many medical supplies to augment our national reserves. And the President has tasked us to evaluate, make available, and to consider every\u2014every request from governors for either field hospitals, expanding facilities, or the Army Corps of Engineer that could retrofit existing buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President also has us inventorying what you all would understand as field hospitals, or MASH hospitals, that can be deployed very quickly,\u201d Pence said. \u201cWe spoke with Governor Inslee yesterday in Washington State. We have resources in that part of the country that we can move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump added, \u201cThe Army Corps is very prepared to do as we say, and were looking at where its going. But\u2014and they do call them MASH hospitals, but the field hospitals go up very quickly. Theyre\u2014we have them. We have all of this equipment in stock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump emphasized that he is working with Governors from various states, including Cuomo. \u201cWe think we can have quite a few units <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/pence-defense-department-is-ready-to-help-with-augmenting-hospitals_3275918.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ninebyninedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/download.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Epoch Times<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Mike Pence said the Army Corps of Engineers are on standby to help expand hospital ca..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":142805,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
