to Iraq or Afghanistan Early or too often with extra time off when they get Home the joint chiefs of staff Success fully fought for that solution called administrative absences after rejecting a plan to pay Active and Reserve members an extra a month when deployed or mobilized Early or so frequently that total time deployed exceeds newly announced rotation goals the Issue which sparked months of internal debate was How to fulfil a Promise to troops made Jan 11 by defense Secre tary Robert Gates when he announced the Force surge into Iraq Gates said then that his department was devising a new pro Gram to compensate individuals in both the Active and Reserve components who Are required to mobilize or deploy Early or extend beyond established rotation policy goals Marine corps Gen Peter Pace chairman of the joint chiefs said in february during congressional testimony that the additional compensation plan for units sent Early military update Tom Philpott into Iraq Likely would be a month what emerged however was this initiative to provide extra time off earned absences proponents contend will give members More time to relax with families time that wont count against their 30 Days of annual leave the rationale is that this can be implemented quickly and that if s logical recognition for being deployed too frequently officials explained we used you a lot we used you More than it was expected Why dont you take some time off once you get Back said Michael Dominguez principal Deputy undersecretary of defense for person Nel and readiness in unveiling the plan at the Pentagon last week it int Clear yet How troops Are reacting but the plan landed with a thud in the Pentagon press room april 18 sceptical reporters bombarded Dominguez with questions about How one two or fou Day passes could be seen As an Ade quate substitute for Cash an extra a month would have matched payments already being made to members who since last year have seen their warzone Tours extended to meet operational demands when Gates announced april 11 that All soldiers in us Central commands area of operations including Iraq Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa a Fol have to serve 15month Tours rather than 12month Tours he also said they would get an extra for any month or partial month served in theater beyond a year senior defense civilians report edly favored giving members the extra Cash too for Early deploy ments and mobilizations the extra Days off begin to accumulate for Active duty members when total time deployed in then last 36 months exceeds a 12month threshold so when members reach their 13th month of deploy ment they earn a on Day pass at 14 months Treyve earned another Day and so on to comment write military update to Box 231111 Centreville a 201201111 email or visit
