Cliff Notes version of this anyone?

1. There is a read of the watch that shows 10/5/19 - hands on 10 + 5 and date shows 19. This came via twitter post. Of course that’s today and comes two years after calm before the storm on 10/5/17 ... I think this is the last date sequence that works this year for that watch (?)

2. There is an order for Marines to support civilians from 10/3 and a full or partial cancellation per REF/A/DOC/PPO/15MAY2019// ... so my read now is that it was an initiation of something on 10/3 that was then taken down 10/4 (yesterday) ?

TBD of course ;)

Purpose. This MARADMIN cancels MARADMIN 300/14. In accordance with (IAW) REF A, this MARADMIN provides guidance for the activation of Reserve Component (RC) Marines under §12304a, Title 10, U.S. Code, following a request for Federal assistance in response to a major disaster or emergency within the United States.

That's it. What the USMC Reserves should do if and when they are requested to respond in case of emergency. The rest is just details of who reports to whom etc. It is not an order to do anything, nor even a warning order to stand by. Just another page in the manual.

At least, that is what it appears to be to me, forty years after my military career ended.

This helped me a great deal.
