Army Issues Order to Stop U.S. Soldiers from Leaving
Wed Jun 2, 2004 10:42 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army has issued an order preventing
thousands of soldiers designated for duty in Iraq or Afghanistan from
leaving the military even when their volunteer service commitment expires,
officials said on Wednesday.
The move to extend the service of some soldiers involuntarily was the latest
sign of increasing stress on the Army as the Pentagon strives to maintain
adequate troop levels in the two conflicts.
Lt. Gen. Franklin Hagenbeck, the Army's personnel chief, denied that the
move was a sign of desperation for the Army, although he did acknowledge
that the Army was "stretched."
The Army issued so-called "stop loss" and "stop movement" orders for
soldiers in all units that will deploy outside the United States to take
part in future missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Army has previously issued such orders covering some troops in the two
conflicts, but not as broadly as the latest move. Since the attacks on the
United States on Sept. 11, 2001, some 45,000 soldiers have been affected by
similar orders, Hagenbeck said.
The "stop loss" order means that soldiers who otherwise could leave the
service when their volunteer commitments expire, starting 90 days before
being sent, will be compelled to remain to the end of their overseas
deployment and up to another 90 days after they come home.
A "stop movement" order blocks soldiers from shifting to new assignments
during the restricted period.
Army spokesmen were unable to give a figure for how many soldiers would be
affected by the orders beyond saying it will be in the thousands.
