Can a commander enforce a battle buddy policy when you take leave?

This may sound dumb, but S2 is saying the BDE commanders policy is that if you want to go to a third world country (in this case, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines) you must bring a battle buddy with you on leave. I have never heard of anything like this before. Is this actually enforceable?

I have no clue because I have been out for a while. However, agree with the concern if your traveling to those countries by yourself. You might be able to reach a compromise on the policy by either agreeing to stay with chaparoned tours and check in / check out with Embassy. Doubt it though and I would not travel to Vietnam, Phillipines or Cambodia by myself while in service either especially with things the way they are in SE Asia with China asserting itself and Russia stating it wants to move back into Vietnam. Any moment China could have a snap war or severe border skirmish with Vietnam or Phillipines.
