The Pentagon\u2019s hard line on troop readiness took effect Monday, and 126,000 service members now find themselves on a path to separation if they do not become\u00a0deployable<\/a>\u00a0in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cDeploy or get out”\u00a0<\/a>was an early policy priority of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to improve the overall readiness of U.S. military forces. It was formalized in February and gave the services until Oct. 1 to be ready to begin holding troops accountable. Those intervening months also gave troops time to prepare, to get rid of administrative, legal or medical blocks that may have previously kept them in a non-deployable status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cExcluding trainees, approximately 6 percent (126,000) of the total force \u2014 active duty, National Guard and Reserve \u2014 were non-deployable as of Aug. 31, 2018,\u201d DoD said in a statement to Military Times. \u201cThis includes temporary as well as permanent non-deployable service members. The reasons vary, but they are predominantly medical.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Of that 126,000 total, 66,000 are non-deployable due to illness or injury, DoD said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Of that 126,000 total, 24,000 are considered permanently non-deployable and were pending a disability evaluation that could lead to the service member\u2019s transition out of the military, DoD said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The sick, lame and lazy should have been gone a long time ago.\u00a0 Seems to be taking a long time to purge the non-hackers from active duty.\u00a0 I am sure they are all victims of something or another.\u00a0 \u00a0The entire article is HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n
