When I was stationed in Colorado, we were doing our exercise in an open field of grass, rolling around, doing push-ups and sit-ups etc, when someone ran up and told the person running the formation that we needed to move because plague had been discovered in the prairie dog droppings all over the base, just like the ones we were apparently rolling around in

Fun times

If I know anything from my time in the Army, everyone just went over to the next hill and continued rolling around in the contaminated uniform.
