EUCOM Implements Travel Restrictions to France
Department of Defense ^ | 11/15/15

Posted on 11/16/2015 8:46:10 AM PST by cll

United State European Command has implemented travel restrictions to France that apply to all Department of Defense personnel. Specifically, unofficial travel (leave, liberty and special pass) to France is prohibited.

This EUCOM policy applies to United States military personnel, DoD civilian employees, contractors and command-sponsored dependents and family members.

PARIS TRAVEL This prohibition is for unofficial travel to Paris, France, and includes a 50-kilometer radius around the city. For those requesting official travel or emergency leave travel to Paris (or within a 50-kilometer radius of the city), approval from the first general/flag officer (or SES) in the chain of command is required.

ELSEWHERE IN FRANCE Official travel and emergency leave travel to France requires approval from the first general/flag officer (or SES) in the chain of command.

Again, this EUCOM policy applies to United States military personnel, DoD civilian employees, contractors and command-sponsored dependents and family members.

These restrictions also apply to cruise ship shore excursions but do not apply to military personnel assigned to diplomatic posts in France and individuals who have commercial airline connections in the country and will not leave the secure portions of airport terminals.

This is a precautionary measure to keep our personnel and families safe in light of the recent attacks. This is also an effort to help minimize tourist traffic at the borders in France, and in particularly, in Paris as the French authorities continue their investigation.

Cowards. Not the military, but the jerks and wimps and trannies that Obama has put in charge of the military.

They want to limit travel over there and speed up refugee importation over here.

Morons.

I wonder what ‘they’ know. Even Hollande wants a 3 month state of emergency. That’s a big big deal.

I keep hearing “only a tiny minority” are terrorists. Well, 1% of a million people is a fighting force of 10,000 well hidden, well trained, and ready to die.

Exactly the number of the first wave BO is bringing into the U.S.

A "50-kilometer radius" ? Sounds like fears of a nuke - or dirty bombs...

The 50km radius pertains to the size of Paris and its suburbs. Instead of this, France should round up all the mullahs/imams/ROPOSes and throw them in prison, then try them under existing postwar anti-Nazi laws; while this is going on, all the muzzie public housing neighborhoods should be bulldozed, and the rest of the muzzie population rounded up and deported to Algeria.
