Operative words

Effective immediately, this memorandum cancels reference (a) through (c) and reissues travel restriction guidance for DoD Components that will remain in effect until further notice.... This guidance applies to all DoD Service members, civilian employees, dependents of Service members, and personnel whose travel is Government-funded, whether traveling domestically or internationally.... There are four factors that must be assessed in addition to relevant force health protection guidance: Removal of local travel restrictions; Availability of essential services (e.g., schools, childcare, and moving services); Quality control/assurance capability for household goods packing and moving; and Favorable Health Protection Conditions (HPCON) (i.e., installations operating below HPCON C).
