Deployed servicemembers are going to have to eliminate their 'geolocation devices' in response to a new memo from the Department of Defense. This includes physical fitness aids, applications in phones that track locations, and other devices and apps that pinpoint and track the location of individuals. Effective immediately, Defense Department personnel are prohibited from using geolocation features and functionality on government and nongovernment-issued devices, applications and services while in locations designated as operational areas. Deployed personnel are in 'operational areas,' and commanders will make a determination on other areas where this policy may apply.
