Presentation Notes

ECRC provides support to IA and mobilizing sailors across all phases of mobilization and deployment. ECRC functional capabilities are Mobilization Processing sites, Training Liaison detachments, COCOM Liaison detachments and Warrior Transition Program. ECRC reserve units are organized to support mobilization. The rates included in those units are the same rates that are resident in the functional capabilities. Through a modular approach, the ECRC reserve personnel can be task organized to meet various mission sets. (example - ECRC stood up monitoring sites for sailors returning from support to West African Ebola response. )

Rest and Recuperation (R&R)

•R&R policy is per DoDI 1327.06 of June 16, 2009 (incorporating ch. 2 effective Aug 13, 2013) AND OSD Memorandum of Clarification dtd 08 JUN 2015.

–Theater specific policies: • CENTCOM Resolution(CCR) 600-21 10 DEC 2015 (and MFR 07 DEC 2016) • ARCENT memorandum (ACCG) 05 APR 2015 • AFRICOM Instruction (ACI) 1500.02C 05 MAY 2016 • HOAINST 1327.1K 01 APR 2016

•Authorized R&R Locations/Destinations listed in Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) appendix U

•2 types—Chargeable R&R leave and non-chargeable R&R administrative absence (NC R&R)


Rest and Recuperation Admin Absence (non-chargeable R&R)

• NC R&R locations certified by OSD via memorandum every 2 years.

•Iraq/Afghanistan only locations currently authorized for NC R&R

•15 day administrative absence that is not charged as leave and does not break HDP-T counter.

–Travel is funded by DoD –Managed by ARCENT (EA for leave and liberty in CENTCOM)

•Eligibility criteria: 270 BOG/365 deployment orders. •Afghanistan/Iraq deployers should not fill out p.13 or need to extend to qualify

–(shorter BOGs n/a. Extensions of BOG <270 will be operational only via VSA)


Rest and Recuperation Leave (chargeable R&R)

•Up to 15 days charged leave, travel funded by gov’t, travel days not charged as leave

– R&R generally taken mid-tour but can be taken any time after 60 days in theater/prior to 60 days from departure.

•Eligibility: Must spend 12 or more months deployed to an authorized overseas R&R location. E.g. 365 days “Boots-on-Ground” or BOG.

–Pre-deployment training, processing does not count towards R&R eligibility. –If BOG broken by leave or TDY >9 days away from R&R country, no longer eligible

for HDP-T !!!

• Previous RC sourcing rules prevented Navy IA orders (RC/non vol) from being issued for 365 BOG.

• Cannot exceed 365 days TDY without USFF N1 or ASN waiver.


Rest and Recuperation Leave (R&R) Mitigation Strategy

• Within all current authorities to extend BOG at member’s request

–Offering p. 13 to RC IAs who have BOG of 270 or greater to R&R leave locations • No further action required for NC RR deployers!!!

–Return p. 13 to ECRC by end of processing week OR request until end of NIACT and return to LNO at NIACT who will return to USFF.

–Pay close attention to disclaimer regarding Hardship Duty Pay-Tempo (HDP-T) –Request to extend will be processed by USFF AO and likely ORDMOD issued to

reflect 365 BOG –AC IAs can work with TACON command to submit Voluntary Service Agreement

(VSA) to request extension after arrival at UDS. • AC is handled case-by-case (detailer, parent command, losing/gaining command input

needed) –SCAN EAGLE missions cannot be extended by p.13 due to training

constraints/rotational maintenance • Disclaimer—should be already eligible as written.
