(Worthy News) – After Israel was reclassified to fall within the United States Central Command Area of Responsibility (AOR), the US military released updated guidelines banning service members from traveling to the region on leave.
The change, which affects Central Command Regulation 55-2, was implemented on September 8 of last year – one week after Israel was officially reassigned to the AOR.
