b. Travel advisories to foreign countries that are available
on the State Department Web site (reference (d)).
Commands shall review both the DOD FCG (reference (c)) and
U.S. State Department travel advisories (on reference (d)) prior

3. Alien Members/Dual National Members
a. Alien members of the Naval Service who return to their
country of origin may be subject to certain impositions or
controls by the laws of that country which could result in
considerable inconvenience or hardship. In some cases alien
members have been drafted into the armed forces of their native
country or prosecuted for draft evasion. Similar problems may
also be encountered by dual national members of the Naval Service
who visit their non-U.S. country of nationality. Generally, such
dual nationality may arise in the following cases:
(1) Member born in foreign territory to parents at least
one of whom is a U.S. citizen.
(2) Member born in the U.S. to parents at least one of
whom is a citizen of another country.
(3) Member born with one parent who is a U.S. citizen and
one parent who is a citizen of another country regardless of
place of birth.
(4) Member born in foreign territory to non-U.S. citizen
parents and member eventually becomes a naturalized U.S. citizen.
b. In some cases, the problems of dual nationals are
resolved by an international protocol relating to military
obligation of dual nationals. The inconveniences and/or legal
