Anyone notice that Pepsi changed their logo? It sort of reminds me of some other logo. Let me see... I'll think of it in minute.

Have a look at DoD Directive 1404.10:
http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/140410p.pdf
Is this where Chairman Obama's mysterious 600,000 new jobs will be created? Does this remind anyone else of Germany in the first half of the 20th Century? Are we going to see brown shirts and black armbands in the near future?
ONe Military sworn to defend the Constitution.
One Military sworn to defend ......... ADOLF HITLER
Are their shirts going to be Brown, RED, or Hussein BLUE??
Got to admit tho .. the HUSSEIN CIRCLE is much more asthetically pleasing than the SWASTIKA.
GOD HELP US ALL!!
4. POLICY. It is DoD policy to:
a. Rely on a mix of capable military members and DoD civilian employees to meet DoD global national security mission requirements. DoD civilian employees are an integral part of the Total Force. They serve in a variety of positions, provide essential capabilities and, where appropriate for civilians to do so, support mission requirements such as combat, contingencies, emergency operations; humanitarian and civic assistance activities; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations of the Department of Defense, herein collectively referred to as “expeditionary requirements.”
It looks like it is just the rules for deploying civilian DoD employee to unpleasant places. Congratulations, bureaucrat, your paper handling skills are needed in Baghdad.
“Not time to worry...yet.”
I beg to differ...
When he spoke at the DNC, some years back, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he announced his candidacy, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
As he outlined his political platform, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he won the DhimmiRat nomination, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he was elected, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he announced the Porkumongous Spending bill we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
So....WHEN IS IT TIME TO WORRY?
IMO, It’s well past time to worry. We should be acting. We should be shouting to the rafters that this guy is an abomonation, and we are living in an Obamanation. His free pass with the fawning MSM is driving his image and his ‘brand’ into the political marketplace with such force that we may never recover in our present form.
Yep, it’s time to worry! It’s time to be sore afraid of the potential for damage that this pretender and his minions can force on the country.
It’s time to refresh the tree of Liberty, IMO.
“c. Supersedes any conflicting portions of other DoD issuances...
“employees to meet DoD
global national security mission requirements.”
“SUPERCEDES”? the military?
“GLOBAL” - in line with the UN dictates ready to implement, taking away our National Sovereignty and putting the U.S. AND out military under the UN - which is run by every podunk little dictator country...and the UN will take your guns...
Don't say he didn't warn you. Don't say we didn't try to spread this...if you were breathing, you have no excuse not to have heard this and spread the word.
Hear it in his own words. The only thing we have left to ask now is: “Will his private army wear brown shirts or ‘bama blue?

and if that doesn't strike a bell, maybe this one will
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xCujfg5w5w&feature=related Any guesses as to just who will make up the vast majority of that army of 600,000? I think there are going to be a lot of Rats in DC that are also going to wake up - too late - to find they've been had...the new regime is not going to be led by them. They have merely served as usefull idiots as a means to the end. Who will really be in power? dare one say it?
Potential for damage? Have you been paying attention to how quickly and completely this guy and his regime have been moving to consolidate power and obstruct liberty?
Time to refresh the tree, indeed!
Funny thing, though, he told us during the campaign and after his assumption of power that he wanted a “civilian” defense force “equal in power to the military.” And the sheeple cheered. They cheered! How liberty dies...
"No", "no", and "who knows".
Lots of DoD civilian employees are deployed to war zones and they are NOT paper pushers or Obama lackeys.
Quite the contrary, they deserve your respect as much as any uniformed warfighter, because they serve in and support exactly the same mission.
How would you like if your boss said "I need volunteers to [survey, validate, audit] our [munitions, arms, billeting, security] in [Iraq, Afghanistan] for three months, and you're it. You'll be on the move constantly around the country and you'll always be in combat zones, so you can request a personal firearm if you choose."
As a contractor I deployed and redeployed with dozens of DoD civilian employees right along with the reservists and National Guard.
The DoD civvies didn't get paid much, they didn't have any real choice to go or not, and they were sent out to open combat operations constantly.
By the way, the DoD Directive above seems merely to update codify laws and procedures pertaining to the DoD civilian workforce.
I see nothing inherently sinister or worrisome about it.
There are plenty of DoD civilians that are not paper pushers....but even then, procurement and logistical support is essential.
You’re off base. This entire thread is wayyyyyy over the top.
Must be Saturday morning paranoia time on FR, because there are many of these kooky posts this morning.
“Supercede” is the common term used in the legal arena (such as DoD Directives) to formally state that (for example) “this document supercedes what was said in previous Directives and is now the current one.”
There’s nothing ominous or weird about it.
As for “employees to meet DoD global national security mission requirements,” neither is that statement ominous or in any way notable.
Rather it’s simply a way of highlighting that DoD civilian employees might be (and have been and are currently) called upon to serve anywhere in the world if they are needs and qualified to do so.
It’s that simple.
Period.
I know full well about DoD civilians deploying with, following, and in advance of military operations.
For instance, they deployed with us for a variety of missions in Bosnia.
They also deployed with us in Southeast Asia for the purpose of finding and verifying remains left from the Vietnam Conflict.
DoD civilians generally do deserve respect as members of the combined force in an operation. However, surveyors and auditors are not our chief concern here.

Then why does Obama need an expiditionary force of civilians?
>>>>> There are plenty of DoD civilians that are not paper pushers....but even then, procurement and logistical support is essential. <<<<<<
As you can see I’m also trying to being some sanity to this otherwise insane thread.
I agree with you that DoD employees are important no matter what their role. And they are almost uniquely called to serve in combat zones unlike almost all other “government employees.”
The tubby DoD auditor who shuttles from Baghdad to Mosul to Balad has a dangerous job nearly equal any uniformed soldier in the AOR.
>>>>> However, surveyors and auditors are not our chief concern here. <<<<<<
OK. Then what is your “chief concern here”?
I read/skimmed the Directive and saw nothing ominous or even very interesting.
>>>>>> Then why does Obama need an expiditionary force of civilians? <<<<<<
The same reason George W. Bush had one.
To support the military and warfighting mission.
You’re barking up the wrong tree.
I’ve already stated my concerns, as have others. The subject of this thread and my original statements ought to be enough. If that was not plain enough for you, then nothing else I type will stir you to concern.
However, it’s apparently not time to worry, so I won’t; it’s just Saturday morning paranoia time. Right? You be sure and let us know when we should worry about Chairman Obama’s policies. Until then, I guess it’s Miller Time, right? Or Kool-Aid. Probably Kool-Aid.
Perhaps, though, you could explain why a new directive is needed to supercede the old one. DoD civilians needing to push some papers? A mere policy change? Clarifying the language of an order that apparently worked?
