Reserves Called 10 Duty
Get Uniform Allowance

With thousands of Reserve officers
on active duty and being assigned
to active service with Regular Army
every day, many officers are uncer-
tain as to the uniform and equip
ment allowances to which they are
entitled.
In a recent decision, the controller
general held that an act Of May "A,
1910. authorizes payment of an al
lowance for uniforms and equipment
to members of the Officers Reserve
Corps only for periods of active duty
training of three months or less
completed after the effective date of
said act.
Payment of the allowance will be
made on completion of each of the
required periods of active-duty train
ing. and after payment of not to
fiscal years no further payments will
accrue.
However. if an officer completes
two of the prescribed periods OF
training in one fiscal year and is
paid the allowance for only one, the
other may be excluded in counting
the maximum of three periods for
which payments are allowed. Pay
ment of an allowance for uniforms
and equipment for active-duty train
ing under the act is not authorized
for any period which is terminated,
because of the officers physical un-
fitness or for other cause, before the
end of the period for which he was
ordered to duty.
