allow civilian contractors to participate in controlled monitoring after involuntary NATO deployment orders to Liberia.

Civilian contractors were involuntarily deployed under NATO orders in support of Operation United Assistance are are not being given the opportunity to voluntarily participate in controlled monitoring. According to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI 4220.01) dated 7 November 2014, "DoD civilian employees and contractors who are deployed to or who have transited through the EVD outbreak area, are encouraged to participate in the 21-day controlled monitoring program. DoD civilian employees and contractors participating in the 21-day conrolled monitoring program will be accommodated at the same standards as uniformed Service members." When the policy was revised on 14 November 2014, contractors are ignored and consequently are denied controlled monitoring access.
