Study Notes
Army Regulations on Leaves and Passes
- AR 600-8-10 governs the policies surrounding leaves and passes in the Army.
Passes
- A three-day pass may be issued during a regular duty week.
- Passes are considered privileges granted by commanders based on performance, not guaranteed rights.
- A four-day pass must encompass two non-duty days and cannot be taken solely from Monday to Thursday.
- Passes cannot be taken simultaneously with any leave.
Types of Leave
- Accrued leave refers to the leave earned through service, while advanced leave is granted before it is officially earned.
- Annual leave deducts from a soldier's leave balance, whereas convalescent leave is not charged as it is part of medical treatment.
- Soldiers receive 42 days of leave after pregnancy and childbirth; returning before this period requires physician approval.
Leave Forms and Logs
- DA Form 31 is the official request form for leave, while DA Form 4179R serves as a Leave Control Log.
Types of Absences
- Administrative absence does not count as leave and is used for semi-official activities benefiting the Army.
- Emergency leave is chargeable and can be used for immediate family emergencies. Transportation costs related to emergency leave are the responsibility of the soldier's commander.
- Emergency leave transportation is authorized only to the nearest Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD) from the emergency location.
Reenlistment Leave and PTDY
- Maximum Reenlistment Leave allowed is 90 days, given that advanced leave does not exceed 30 days.
- Personnel Temporary Duty (PTDY) cannot be combined with ordinary leave; a Duty Day must separate the two.
