The Department of Defense incident comes as Mexican authorities refuse to let a US cruise ship dock amid a passenger ebola scare.
The Pentagon shut down a building entrance and part of a car park after a woman was sick and told police she was in Liberia two weeks ago.
Hazmat-suited crews from Arlington, Virginia, descended on the scene as the woman was taken to hospital as a possible ebola case.
She began vomiting after she got off a shuttle bus that was taking guests to a high-level Marine Corps ceremony.
The other passengers were released and advised to take their temperatures twice daily for the next 21 days, which is ebola's incubation period.
Pentagon spokesman Lt Col Tom Crosson said all pedestrian and vehicle traffic was stopped in the vast car park, out of an abundance of caution.
