Generally this refers only to off duty travel. The reason being is to keep the majority of the Command available to respond to additional threats within the TAO in rapid manner and with enough manpower.
Speaking from expierance the personel not being allowed to travel are probably standing posts or recieving training and generally attempting to secure the bases to meet a terrorist attack attempt. |
not quite true in this case Sarge the original order did include families, the base commanders have had a rethink and the order has been rescinded. There will be embarressed faces in the Officers mess tonight.
