This ALNAV provides an update and guidance to Department of the Navy (DON) personnel and commands on domestic and international travel restrictions and is subject to additional guidance provided by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The COVID-19 outbreak continues, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting sustained community spread in the United States. This ALNAV supersedes the portions of reference (g) regarding travel restrictions. Reference (h) is hereby cancelled. 2. Effective 20 April 2020, reference (a) is in effect, cancels references (b), (c), and (d), and reissues travel restrictions guidance for all Department of Defense (DoD) personnel and commands. 3. All DON personnel, and their families, including active, reserve, and civilian personnel whose travel is government-funded will stop movement, both internationally and domestically, while reference (a) is in effect. 4. Except as provided below, this stop movement applies to all official travel, including but not limited to, temporary duty (TDY) travel; government-funded leave travel; permanent duty travel, including Permanent Change of Station (PCS) travel; and travel related to Authorized and Ordered Departures issued by the Department of State. For DON Service Members only local leave is authorized. Local leave for military members will be in accordance with Service policy, which may be informed by local community conditions. DON civilian employees are strongly encouraged to avoid personal leave outside the local area. Upon return from approved leave outside the local area, DON civilian employees may be asked to telework or exercise leave options as appropriate. The DON may continue hiring actions, but may only onboard civilian employees in the local commuting area, and civilian employees whose travel to the local commuting area is not government-funded, individuals approved for situational telework. DON leadership will ensure the contents of this directive are clearly communicated to those affected by these travel restrictions. a. Personnel traveling under the following circumstances are exempt from these restrictions: (1) Travel associated with uniformed personnel recruiting and accessions activities, to include accessions; basic training; advanced individual training; and follow-on travel to the first duty station. The Navy and Marine Corps will notify the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) prior to significantly reducing or suspending recruiting; accessions; basic training; or advanced individual training. (2) Travel by patients, as well as their authorized escorts and attendants, for purposes of medical treatment. Travel by medical providers for the purposes of medical treatment for DoD personnel and their families is also authorized. (3) Travel for Global Force Management (GFM) activities (defined as deployments/redeployments ordered in the GFM Allocation Plan, including Service internal rotations to support, and TDY used to source ordered capabilities). Such travel will be coordinated between the Combatant Command, the Joint Staff, and the appropriate Service. All GFM-scheduled deployments /redeployments of U.S. Navy vessels and embarked units and personnel is authorized, provided they are in-transit and have met the 14-day restriction of movement provided for under reference (f), and any applicable subsequent guidance. (4) Travel by authorized travelers who departed their permanent duty station and are awaiting transportation, and have already initiated travel (including intermediate stops), are authorized to continue travel to their final destination on approved orders. (5) Travel by authorized travelers whose TDY ends while this directive is in effect. Such travelers are authorized to return to their permanent duty stations. (6) Travel authorized by the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), to continue execution of the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise as required to project and sustain the Joint Force globally. This includes forces (aircrews, vessel crews, and mission essential personnel) ordered on prepare-to-deploy orders alert status, air refueling, global patient movement, mortuary affairs support, inland surface, sea and air sustainment missions, support to other U.S. Agencies, as approved by the SECDEF, and moves of personnel and equipment that support USTRANSCOMs global posture requirements. (7) Travel by individuals pending retirement or separation. (8) Travel by those under authority of a Chief of Mission and authorized by that Chief of Mission. 5. Waivers may be granted for compelling cases where the travel is: (1) determined to be mission essential; (2) necessary for humanitarian reasons; or (3) warranted due to extreme hardship. Waivers are to be done on a case- by -case basis, shall be limited in number, and shall be coordinated between the gaining and losing organizations. Approval authority for waivers is delegated to the Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Chief of Naval Operations, for military and civilian employees under their jurisdiction. This authority may be further delegated in writing, but not below the level of General Officer, Flag Officer, or Senior Executive Service member or equivalent in the travelers chain of command or supervision. 6. As prescribed in reference (e), eligible DON family members and non - emergency civilian employees may depart as part of Authorized or Ordered Departure by exception only. 7. Individuals traveling under an exemption or exception, including those under an Authorized or Ordered Departure, are subject to the travel screening protocols as provided in reference (f) and any applicable subsequent guidance. All travel orders must document the exemption or exception under which the travel is authorized. 8. These actions give preeminence to the safety and security of our personnel, their families, and our communities. During this period of travel restriction, the DON will take several measures to enhance traveler safety. Each DON organization, as applicable, will take immediate action to: a. Establish pre- and post- travel screening and reception procedures for all authorized travelers as provided in reference (f) and any applicable subsequent guidance, to include providing Service Members or civilian employees information regarding prescribed actions for them and their family members, given their particular circumstances; b. Establish a means of communication with all personnel throughout the reception process until they are allowed to resume their normal duties; c. Use military or DoD contracted end-to-end travel using aircraft or other conveyance for DoD-sponsored travelers to the greatest extent practical; d. Inform all travelers of their responsibility to contact their gaining organization in advance of travel and to keep the organization updated on their travel itinerary; e. Document within travel orders the exemption or waiver under which the travel is authorized; and f. When practicable within operational requirements, consider either in -place assignment extensions or the applicability of waivers for PCS moves for uniformed personnel with school-age dependents in order to minimize school year disruption and education costs. 9. Released by the Honorable James E. McPherson, Acting Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
