Operative words

That is why we have imposed restrictions on all domestic and international travel. We understand the impact of delaying PCS moves, modifying training exercises, and temporarily closing some installation services.... do not crowd large groups of people into confined spaces for meetings or briefings; conduct tasks such as physical training and maintenance in small groups; and use teleworking and other virtual tools to enable staff work, when possible.

Enforcement

Secretary's direction to commanders

Notes

The Secretary's own statement that installation services were being closed and moves delayed.
