Events-driven Moderator activities - another look at guidelinesThe policy is simple. If you have information about military movement that has not been published in major media, and is not considered public knowledge it may be inappropriate or unwise to post it on FR. In short, use the question-gauge of, does this come from major media? If so, and if it has not already been posted before, the information will not violate the loose-lips policy.
 IMHO, this post would appear to be within the guidelines.
