Dear fellow JAGWARriors:
Although we’ve yet to postpone the “Triple-R Challenge” scheduled for 29 May 2020 in partnership with the Fort Belvoir OSJA, we wanted to be as proactive as possible in detailing our plans for contingencies.
The Coronavirus global pandemic has already no doubt affected you personally. We, too, are taking steps to minimize the contagion risk of assembling members of our broader Army JAG Corps family until COVID-19 is contained and its spread reversed.
As such, please email jagwar@orderofthejagwar.com (with subject heading “Fort Belvoir”) to be included in updates relating specifically to the Fort Belvoir “Triple-R Challenge”.
We’ll let you know if the event is postponed, or of any precautions we intend to take as time-on-target approaches. Given that some of our fellow attorneys and paralegals were planning on traveling to participate, it’s increasingly likely that participation may be limited solely to members of the Fort Belvoir OSJA.
At this time, all other “Triple-R Challenges” scheduled for 2020 are date-tentative. Information will be forthcoming. Until then, continue to train for your Run, Rope climb, and Ruck march! These activities are perfectly compliant with the current DoD social distancing measures, and a great way to embrace the warm weather right around the corner. Just keep your hand sanitizer at the ready in case that rope is looking suspect….
As a final thought: We know this virus has impacted colleagues throughout the entire JAG Corps footprint, from here at home, to Italy and South Korea, to Iraq and Afghanistan where dynamic battlespaces already coming to terms with historic operational shifts must now confront a surreal and lethal new variable.
So take this time to reflect on how COVID-19 is connecting us all in a shared challenge, and commit yourselves anew to TJAG’s critical mandate: BE READY.
