In a recent move to insure unit readiness, the Army has issued "stop-movement" orders to a limited number of active duty soldiers.
Unlike stop-loss, which suspends voluntary separations, stop-movement suspends orders for soldiers in designated units who are projected to rotate and does not apply to soldiers retiring or leaving the Army.
Enlisted soldiers with assignment orders for 28 Feb. and earlier will proceed as scheduled. Reporting dates of 1 March or later will be revoked for soldiers in affected units. Soldiers affected by stop-movement who are currently TDY and are scheduled to return may have to return early.
According to Army officials, the specific units that will fall under stop-movement have not been announced for security reasons. Units already supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Noble Eagle will not be affected, officials said.
