Can someone assist with question about TDY en route from germany for a school starting in less than 6 weeks?

Situation: In Germany with fly date of 19 MAY to Fort Bliss with to set up family and quarantine for mandated 14 days. Then going TDY to Patrick AFB on 07 JUN for course. Does anyone have any idea how to submit ETP for travel without FRAGO or MFR stating that course is continuing. Currently institute and HQDA sates course is going on but having difficulty with proof other than what is posted on DEOMI website and ATRRS reservation. Shouldn't that be enough? HHG, Vehicle cant be shipped until ETP is done. Thanks.

The TDY portion also falls under FRAGO 18 if I'm not mistaken.

Do you have a valid reason for an exception? If the course itself was mission-critical enough that a three-star was willing to approve an exception, then the overarching commander could have approved it. So, since the course is a mission-critical enough, you will have to show extreme personal hardship. I believe travel for PCS requires a four star Commander approval. There are a lot of people attempting to submit exceptions just because they want to move. You need to show how your situation is exceptional enough that a three or four star commander is willing to grant it. Across the board, from what I've seen, all routine requests are getting denied.

The June course at DEOMI is cancelled due to COVID-19.
