The United States Army is putting its plan to divest nearly all its Army watercraft on hold – at least for now.
The cease order came from the the office of the Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy in a memo late Wednesday, a source familiar of the order has informed us. Units have also been ordered to put on hold the inactivation of watercraft positions and the transfer of Army mariners to other non-watercraft units.
As gCaptain reported previously [cf. ▻https://seenthis.net/messages/752290 ], the United States Army this year decided to deactivate and divest nearly all its watercraft and maritime capability, including numerous vessels, watercraft equipment, watercraft systems, soldiers, and units.
