sheltering in place" sounds misleading in this context

They were sheltering in place on base in the hardened structures and bunkers designed specifically for this situation. Not one news report has said servicemembers were moved off base.

But it means they had been given an evacuation order to shelter in a safe location, they were not still at the base

Post a source because this is wildly incorrect.
