Trump issues order to bring former troops back to active duty to assist in coronavirus response

MSN

President Trump issued an order Friday night that permits the Pentagon to bring former U.S. troops and members of the National Guard and Reserve back to active duty to augment forces already involved in the U.S. military’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, senior U.S. officials said.

The president said Friday night that the decision will “allow us to mobilize medical, disaster and emergency response personnel to help wage our battle against the virus by activating thousands of experienced service members including retirees.”

The president did not clarify whether anyone will be involuntarily recalled to duty, but said some retirees have “offered to support the nation in this extraordinary time of need.”

“It’s really an incredible thing to see,” Trump said. “It’s beautiful.”

Trump’s executive order allows Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper to order units and individual members to duty, including “certain Individual Ready Reserve” members, Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Rath Hoffman said in a statement released just after midnight on Saturday morning. The Individual Ready Reserve comprises former active-duty and reserve service members, who are commonly considered out of the military and rarely recalled.

Hoffman, who could not be reached for comment early Saturday, said that decisions about which people may be activated are still being reviewed. The statement did not address whether anyone will be involuntarily recalled.

“Generally, these members will be persons in Headquarters units and persons with high demand medical capabilities whose call-up would not adversely affect their civilian communities,” Hoffman’s statement said.

Before relying on any National Guard Reserve forces, Esper and the Department of Health and Human Services will consult with state officials, Hoffman added. Governors have control of their own National Guard forces in most cases.

“As this is a dynamic situation, we do not currently have a projected number of expected activations, but the Department is now fully authorized to make activations as needed,” Hoffman said. “We will provide updates as they become available.”

The executive order released by the White House states that anyone recalled can remain on active duty for up to 24 months straight.

The Pentagon already has dispatched its two Navy hospital ships, the USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy, to New York and Los Angeles, respectively, and deployed Army hospital units to other locations. The hospital ships are heavily staffed with military reservists.

Earlier this week, the Army sent a message to some veterans who served in medical fields to ask whether they would be interested in serving in the coronavirus response. Service officials were interested in people who previously served in eight jobs: critical care officer, anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, critical care nurse, nurse practitioner, emergency-room nurse, respiratory specialist and medic.

“When the Nation called — you answered, and now, that call may come again,” wrote Lt. Gen. Thomas C. Seamands.

  1. THIS IS NON SENSICAL IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS FALSE FLAG VIRUS
    MY GUT IS TELLING ME: DANGER MY PALMS ARE SWEATY
    QUESTIONS: WILL THESE VOLUNTEERS BE THE FIRST TO GET THE VACCINE? IN WHICH CASE THEY MAY SUCCUMB TO THE BIOWEAPON TO PERHAPS BE RELEASED HERE THEREBY ELIMINATING ANY ‘HELP’ TO OTHERS
    WILL THESE PEOPLE PERHAPS BE ACTORS IN UNIFORM (a uniform itself is a psyop) ORDERED TO CARRY OUT SOME SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS?
    IS THIS A CASE OF SETTING UP OUR MILITARY AND MEDICAL RESPONDERS …….BEING LED TO THE SLAUGHTER BY FOREIGN TROOPS….MERCENARIES….AS WELL AS THE INVADERS FROM THE SOUTH WHO UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND EQUIPPED?
    ‘Service officials were interested in people who previously served in eight jobs: critical care officer, anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, critical care nurse, nurse practitioner, emergency-room nurse, respiratory specialist and medic.’ REMEMBER THE NEWS CONFERENCE WHERE THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT OBTAINING VENTILATORS? THIS QUOTE INDICATES TO ME THE ANTICIPATION AKA FOREKNOWLEDGE OF A RELEASE OF ANOTHER BIOWEAPON. REMEMBER STATEMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT ANOTHER ROUND COMING. https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/theres-a-connection-between-coronavirus-and-5g/264788#comments
    OR IS THIS ANOTHER HUGE DISTRACTION AS THEY FLIP THE SWITCH SO TO SPEAK (EMP PERHAPS?) TO STEAL ALL THE BANK ACCOUNTS, 401ks, PENSIONS, etc.
    or am I thinking too much? bad habit

  2. I don’t think you thinking to much, No EMP they need all the cameras and other things to control. The only one would God and his EMP or am I thinking too much!!

  3. “The executive order released by the White House states that anyone recalled can remain on active duty for up to 24 months straight.”

    F@#k executive orders. Where the hell are all these executive orders coming from? What happened to voting before making a decision on something? Do we not vote in this country anymore unless it’s when they need to (s)elect their new puppet president? Apparently, that’s the only time that politicians need your vote on something. All other issues, they seem to not want nor ever need your consent.

    Imagine that? And the sheeple say the voting system is not rigged.

    By the way, putting US military soldiers on American soil is an act of WAR and is treason! Period!

    Unfrigginbelievable…
