Overseas Returnee Prioritization Overseas Returnee Prioritization Members returning from overseas are prioritized by category.
Individuals return in one of three groups.
The second group are those individuals who serve the unaccompanied tour and the unaccompanied tour length is 17 months or less and dependents ARE NOT restricted or limited. In other words, whoever has the most short tours within a priority group would have priority. In addition to credited short tours, we also consider tour extensions within the same priority group. Tour extensions raise a member's priority within their priority group. These tour extensions need to be in increments of 6 months for short tours and 12 months for long tours.
