Well sure as sugar you have been exposed. If the jr or sr is the other medic, you segregate him and the team members not exposed. Get them off the base. They can conduct patrols in relation to finding and trying to fix this Taliban element before it attacks the compound and you're fighting with a sick NG company.
Quarantine the 30 exposed in the tight element and treat with IV Gorillacilli (I took cefoxitan with me on all my deployments but only like 25 viles, that's enough for combat wounds but would only last for about 8 hours with this problem. Make sure you have your mannitol handy (unless there is something better now). Separate the platoons and have platoon medics monitor closely. No contact between platoons. Emphasize the importance of this platoon quarantine. Put the quarantine guys back in the building and make this your home for the next week. The rest of the NG guys go on the perimeter and/or local patrols.
No way you're going to treat an entire 120 man inf company (plus SF team with ANA) prophylacticly. There won't be enough drugs in country but I would order them up just in case. Order up a doctor and/or pa and the med sustainment officer ( I think those guys do PM and infectious disease stuff). Order up PPE masks for everyone in the camp. You might look gay but you'll be able to fight when the time comes.
