Certain officers eligible for CJTF credit

  • Published
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) --  Active-duty officers in the grades of major and above, and some captains, are eligible to receive joint duty credit for deployments because of a recently expanded list of approved operations.

The fiscal 2002 National Defense Authorization Act and Title 10 United States Code Section 664 authorizes cumulative joint-duty credit. It only applies to officers who deployed for at least 90 continuous days to an approved combined joint task force headquarters staff. The cumulative credit may be used in combination with a present or future joint duty assignment to allow early departure from a joint duty position.

The legislation does not apply to officers serving in medical, legal or religious career fields. Captains who filled a valid major or higher grade 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)
