In February, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin mandated that anyone at any military installation worldwide must wear a mask if not inside their own home or inside an enclosed office alone, except for brief periods when eating or drinking, or to show one’s face for identification purposes. However, the memo notes that exceptions to the policy may be granted when “necessary for military readiness” or “that are related to living on a military installation.” Those exceptions are to be approved only by “Defense Department Component heads,” which includes senior leaders like service secretaries, combatant commanders and heads of defense agencies, and only with mitigating safety measures, like additional social distancing or COVID testing.
Marine Corps rules mirror the DOD directive and state that masks must be worn in “common areas or shared workspaces…and outdoor shared spaces. Marines and their family members are encouraged to wear masks in their barracks, family housing, or other shared residence locations when individuals who are not members of their household are present.” The Marine Corps policy allows any general officer or senior executive service member to grant exceptions.
