10. Wait 30 days

Currently Trump’s orders for DC are technically legal, until/unless a court rules otherwise.

The orders can’t go past 30 days without congressional authorization, so we’ll see what happens.

Everything so far has been cloaked in a blanket of pseudo-legality; hopefully we’ll see a ruling in the California case soon.

I don’t know how civilian court rulings affect troops under the UMCJ, but it’s an important question that needs to be answered.
