The order gives “the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security the authority to activate the Ready Reserve components of the armed forces,” Trump said during Friday’s coronavirus task force briefing. “This 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, Trump said. “We have a lot of people — retirees; great, great military people — they’re coming back in — who have offered to support the nation in this extraordinary time of need.” The Army reported that of the 800,000 individuals notified, about 9,000 have expressed interest in serving. http://www.hideoutnow.com/2020/03/trump-issues-order-giving-us-military.html 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
