DoD extends travel restrictions

Posted Apr 22, 2020 11:12 PM

Department of Defense travel restrictions such as permanent change of station or temporary duty have been extended until June 30. According to information provided by Fort Riley exceptions may be given for compelling cases where travel is determined to be mission essential, necessary for humanitarian reasons or warranted due to extreme hardship.

DoD is working with the Services to determine prioritization to balance the needs to individual service members, families and maintain operational readiness. Also, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has directed that PCS moves for uniformed personnel with school-age dependents should be prioritized to minimize school-year disruption and education costs, or considered for in-place assignment extensions.
