The Pentagon and the Navy paused civilian travel and limited use of government travel and purchasing cards to adhere to a recent White House executive order, USNI News has learned. As of Thursday night, Department of the Navy civilians cannot use their government purchase cards and cannot travel unless they receive an exemption to do so, according to a message Naval Sea Systems Command executive director Chris Miller sent to employees. “In the interim, DOD civilian employees must cancel all non-exempt future travel (i.e. travel that has not yet started),” Miller wrote in a March 6 email reviewed by USNI
