This is a question which really needs to be directed to the Judge Advocate General (who, in turn, would probably have to contact the British consulate in DC). Tentatively speaking, orders and an ID covers official travel only. During my second stint in OIF, I went to South Africa to visit my family, and I was required to have a passport. However, South Africa is neither a NATO member nation, nor is engaged in the GWOT, so there is a possibility that it could be worked out in your favour in regards to the UK. If you have the means to get a passport, you really should go and do that. In the meantime, you can contact the British Embassy in Washington, DC at +1-212-588-6500 and they should be able to give you a definite answer there.
