TROOPS ON PEACE KEEPING REQUEST LEAVE HERE.

SPECIAL LEAVE ACCRUAL
In some cases, “special leave accrual” may be authorized–this was true during the coronavirus pandemic, when the DoD approved servicemembers to carry an “additional leave balance of up to 120 days” for military service that meets certain requirements within certain dates. In this particular case, this special leave policy was due to COVID-19 leave and travel bans and was meant to accommodate those who were prohibited from taking leave due to the pandemic.

Called To Serve
Service members explain what service means to them as well as their proudest moments.
KNOW WHEN
Life as a service member
Military leave can be requested at any time but it’s up to your chain of command to approve or deny such leave. Some leave is not associated with rest and recreation, morale, or vacations–and as such your chain of command may approve it immediately depending on circumstances. Leave requests may be approved or denied based on mission requirements, staffing levels, and other variables.

CONDITIONS OF BEING ON LEAVE
All you need to know
Some sources report that military members are expected to apply for leave in any workday where they are not available for duty. Some of these same sources say service members are expected to be on leave anytime they are away from their duty station (distances specified by command).
These sources are technically correct, but sometimes fail to mention that service members may be authorized to report for duty elsewhere while on TDY or PCS orders.
