My two cents is that this now allows the employee to see how the company is treating the orders (no surprises). Not all orders have an exempt statement but are still exempt if they support GWOT contingency ops.
Not sure what happens to the pre-2010 orders.

(this only is pointed at the extreme examples)
It needs to be said that regardless their service is honorable.
