Can my Active Duty Husband go to the Middle East for Leisure?

I believe he can go to the Middle Eastern countries that do not currently have travel warnings from the State Department (so Lebanon would not be an option). Civilians are allowed to go to these countries but are strongly discouraged from doing so (hence why they are called travel WARNINGS). Military personnel however, I believe are prohibited from going. Egypt is not currently under warning though. In fact, my Marine went there as well as many other Middle Eastern countries (not the restricted ones though). To be sure though your husband should check with his commander and also check the State Department website for the most up-to-date travel warnings.
