Overseas Stop Movement Order in Response to COVID-19

Today, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper enacted a 60-day stop movement order for all DoD uniformed and civilian personnel and their sponsored family members overseas. This measure is taken to aid in further prevention of the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), to protect U.S. personnel and preserve the operational readiness of our global force.

Building upon previously enacted movement restrictions governing foreign travel, permanent change of station moves, temporary duty and personal leave, this stop movement order will also impact exercises, deployments, redeployments and other global force management activities. Approximately 90,000 Service Members slated to deploy or redeploy over the next 60 days will likely be impacted by this stop movement order.

Interesting piece on "vanity metrics" as related to the corona crisis, and why numbers only tell part of the story:

"Numbers are strong and numbers are persuasive. But numbers only tell one side of a story and often that side of the story is specifically utilized to help promote a cause or agenda."

Because in the non-political threads there is a subject-matter-expert for nearly any topic you could ever come up with. Overall they are a fantastic group of guys who are incredibly generous with each other and have helped fellow members out of bankruptcy, a totaled car, and I watched live as the group tracked down a member who had posted his 'final goodbye' on the board and got police and paramedics to him moments before he took his own life.
