No, deployment in a year means deployment in a year. It makes no statement about the reason for the deployment, just an assessment of that unit's readiness. Often, they deploy to third-world countries for educational (and, I'm sure, propaganda) purposes. If they don't actually set up and use the hospital, they stand to lose their expertise. If this epidemic spurs the formation of a world-wide emergency medical team, they might be a logical part. Certainly, we're hoping this epidemic will be controlled within a year.
