Minot situation serious, stop movement order remains Published July 29, 2011 By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The situation remains serious in the Minot Air Force Base area and the stop movement order remains in place, Air Force officials announced today. Heavy spring flooding forced many to evacuate the city of Minot N.D., prompting the 5th Bomb Wing and 91st Missile Wing commanders to request a partial stop movement in June. Military members who will be allowed to proceed include technical training graduates and accessions who are single with no dependents, said Col. David Slade, military assignments director. Those who are married or who have dependents will not be allowed to proceed. In addition, military members stationed overseas who have a July date eligible to return from overseas, who were not authorized to proceed, are being diverted to a new assignment location. Those with an August DEROS will be reviewed to determine who will be allowed to proceed to Minot. Those who are not authorized will be able to request a voluntary 30-day DEROS extension. If they do not choose to voluntarily extend, assignment diversion actions will be taken. Servicing personnel sections or force support squadrons will communicate each Airman's decision to AFPC. Airmen other than training graduates and accessions will be allowed to proceed to Minot on a case-by-case basis, said Slade. "We are notifying applicable FSS and MPS personnel via e-mail for those eligible to proceed, so unless we notify you, you cannot proceed to Minot," he said. As previously announced, civilians with PCS orders to Minot should not depart their losing base until notified by personnel authorities. Civilians returning to Minot from leave or a temporary duty assignment are authorized to return. Civilians slated for a TDY to Minot must get host unit approval before traveling. For more information about the stop movement, affected military members should contact their military personnel section, or call the AFPC assignment programs and procedures branch at 210-565-3815, or the 24-hour contact at 210-565-2020. Civilians affected can contact their local civilian personnel section, the 24-hour number above or call the POC at 210-565-5737.
