Well, the "30 at a time" would actually be the number of patients we could transport in a given flight. We could probably run a flight a day at max capacity. Most of the treatments would be done at the new facilities that the army is setting up, so that the outcome percentages are much higher.

Taking patients over here would allow us to train US doctors so that we would be better prepared for worse emergencies. Could save millions of lives in the long run if our medical professionals have better training / experience.
