» RELATED: Communication key to Klan group rally in Dayton, Charlottesville survivor says
The area of the KKK rally was deemed “off-limits” by Wright-Patt’s Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board, which is in charge of maintaining order, discipline, health, morale and safety of military personnel at the base.
Service members who enter the prohibited area of the Klan rally are subject to action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for failing to obey an order or regulation, according to the memo. Military personnel who live within the off-limits area are required to notify their commander and receive clearance to stay in their residence during the time of the rally Saturday.
In the memo, Anzaldua also recommended that civilian Wright-Patt employees and family members of everyone who works at the base avoid the area during the rally.
