Pentagon officials are saying there are no active threats against U.S. troops serving in Honduras, but commanders at Joint Task Force-Bravo are taking precautions.

Last week the Honduran Congress, Supreme Court and military ousted President Manuel Zelaya from his post after a battle over revising the country's constitution. World leaders have called for his return, and internal protests have grown over the last week.

In response officials at Soto Cano Air Base have cancelled planned military activities with Honduran troops, and are keeping U.S. troops there on base for the time being. In a statement, SOUTHCOM spokesman Robert Appin said no one is allowed off base "except for emergency situations."

The last off-base operation, a medical readiness exercise, was held June 26. Along with a host of humanitarian missions, JTF-Bravo also takes part in the military's counter-narcotics efforts in the region.
