To protect the military and naval forces and war workers of the
United States, in time of war, against any communicable disease
specified in Executive orders as provided in subsection (b) of
section 264 of this title, the Secretary, in consultation with the
Surgeon General, is authorized to provide by regulations for the
apprehension and examination, in time of war, of any individual
reasonably believed (1) to be infected with such disease and (2) to
be a probable source of infection to members of the armed forces of
the United States or to individuals engaged in the production or
transportation of arms, munitions, ships, food, clothing, or other
supplies for the armed forces. Such regulations may provide that if
upon examination any such individual is found to be so infected, he
may be detained for such time and in such manner as may be
reasonably necessary.
