U.S. service members will get a day of rest in October to enact the upcoming midterm elections. War Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the military-wide stand-down on October 2, stating the relocation will offer soldiers time to cast their tallies by mail or personally. According to a memo released Thursday, the one-day stand-down was designated by President Donald Trump. Hegseth stated the relocation is planned to guarantee service members and qualified relative have adequate time to exercise their right to vote.
