WWIII Alert: US Army Publishes ALARACT for “Utilization of the Army Retiree Recall Program”
by Brian Lupo Mar. 21, 2024 7:00 pm51 Comments

While the Ukraine conflict rages on and rumors run rampant about France potentially deploying up to 2,000 troops to Ukraine, according to Russian intelligence, the US Army yesterday issued a “Utilization of the Army Retiree Recall Program.”

On March 20th, the US Army Publishing Directorate published ALARACT 017/2024.  The title of the form is “Utilization of the Army Retiree Recall Program” and it cites Executive Order 13223 under “References”.  Executive Order 13223 is a Bush-era EO from September 14, 2001 titled “Ordering the Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty and Delegating Certain Authorities to the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation.”

The 18-page PDF for the ALARACT, which stands for “All Army Activities”, contains a slide titled “Directorate of Military Personnel Management.”  Under the first slide, it states:

   “What is a Retiree Recall?  -A recalled retiree is a retired Soldier who is ordered to active duty from the Retired Reserve or the retired list under 10 USC 688/688a, 12301(a), or 12301(d) and serves in his or her retired status.  Retiree Recall is not an extension of your MRD.

A Small Step For President Biden In Gaza, A Big Step Towards Total War

I rushed to hope that the U.S. would turn the Gaza port initiative into the first step in the move toward its comprehensive peace vision, in cooperation with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority.

This was all based on the hope that Qatar, which is Hamas, would be ousted from any role in it, since it is a sponsor of Islamist terrorism worldwide. My hope was indeed consistent with the first reports about the port initiative. I termed it a “port of hope” and considered it a miracle that the Biden administration would take an actual step to implement its peace vision.

I proved to be damned wrong.

This administration betrayed its allies – the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Jordan – by handing the port over to Qatar, namely to Hamas.

Forth comment also by Yucki. An analysis of the previous comment by MEMRI

Comment:
I can’t stress enough the importance of this article. It’s harsh, the conclusions are grim. They’re close to my own.

Given the escalation in Ukraine, the signal weakness we’re projecting elsewhere, we’re giving the enemy an opportunity too tempting  to pass it up.

There are 300,000 NATO troops making their way across Bulgaria and Romania to the borders of Ukraine and Belarus. American brand tanks and armored personal carriers. A routine exercise?

Putting it together with the way the media is “monstering” Israel, I figure we’ll be at war by summer.
