According to the Department of Defense, Clifford Stanley, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, issued the plan to implement repeal of the policy known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to the service secretaries (memo here).  The plan reportedly follows the prior implementation plan closely.  The Air Force says training will “soon begin,” while the Navy has already set its schedule.

The Air Force Times notes the training and logistical requirements of repeal will also occur in combat zones.

Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, wrote a letter to Congress encouraging them to prevent repeal:

[T]here is still time to save our military, and especially our service members with sincerely held religious beliefs that will, inevitably, be silenced by non-discrimination policies that elevate and favor sexual minorities.

Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, a potential presidential candidate, has indicated he would support cutting funds that are being used to implement repeal.
