ROBERTS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Liberia (Reuters) - Marine pilot Captain Chris Legere has dropped troops into combat in Afghanistan and flown into Libya to evacuate U.S. embassy staff, but now he faces an enemy both silent and invisible: Ebola.

Legere is part of a U.S. mission of up to 4,000 troops deploying to West Africa to help contain an outbreak of the haemorrhagic fever that President Barack Obama has called a threat to global security.
