AFPC announces corrected CJTF credit guidelines

  • Published
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) --  Officials at the Air Force Personnel Center here announced updated guidance to state cumulative credit awarded for combined joint task force deployments cannot be combined with present or future joint duty assignments.

Also, full joint credit for JTF deployments can only be awarded if the total service accumulated equals at least two years for general/flag and critical occupational specialty officers and at least three years for all others.

Active-duty officers in the grades of major and above, and some captains, may be eligible to receive joint duty credit for deployments due to a recently expanded list of approved operations.

The fiscal 2002 National Defense Authorization Act and Title 10 United States Code Section 664 authorizing cumulative joint duty credit only applies to officers who deployed for at least 90 continuous days to an approved combined joint task force headquarters staff.

The legislation does not apply to officers serving in medical, legal or religious career fields. Captains, who filled a valid major or above billet, may receive the joint duty credit.

For more information on how to self-nominate or where to fax or e-mail supporting documentation, officers can visit the Air Force Personnel Center’s Joint Assignment Section Web site online at www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/jom/. Officers may also call the center at DSN 665-3720 or commercial at (210) 565-3720 for more information. (Courtesy of AFPC News Service)
