The Defense Department is forming a civilian expeditionary workforce that will be trained and equipped to deploy overseas in support of military missions worldwide, according to department officials.
The intent of the program “is to maximize the use of the civilian workforce to allow military personnel to be fully utilized for operational requirements,” according to a Defense Department statement.
The directive emphasizes, however, that volunteers be sought first for any expeditionary requirements, before requiring anyone to serve involuntarily or on short notice. Overseas duty tours shall not exceed two years.Employees in deployable-designated positions will be trained, equipped and prepared to serve overseas in support of humanitarian, reconstruction and, if absolutely necessary, combat-support missions.
Hey Michelle, we all might be serving in Obama’s civilian (military?) workforce! So I guess he will be dictating what we can do for him!
My housewarming gift for President Obama
Why would this not be called a terrorist group such as the ones formed in Iran? Are you ready to serve under Barack Obama?

Thanks Patrick Sperry, but the main thing is to get the information out to the people. This civilian (military?) group is not such a good idea from what I see!
