50E  Period of service during call out

Direction by Chief of the Defence Force or a service chief

 (1) A member of the Reserves who is covered by a call out order under section 50D is bound to render the period of continuous full time naval, military or air force service (as appropriate) that the Chief of the Defence Force or a service chief directs in relation to the member.

Directions may be specific or general

 (2) Such a direction may apply to the member specifically, by reference to a part or class of the Reserves that includes the member, or by reference to the Reserves as a whole.

Length of period of service

 (3) The period of service specified in a direction under subsection (1):
 (a) must start on the day on which the relevant call out order takes effect; and
 (b) may be indefinite or limited.
However, a direction has no effect to the extent that it specifies a period of service after the day on which the call out under the order ends.

Direction must be in writing

 (4) A direction under this section must be in writing.

Further directions

 (5) The fact that a direction has been given in relation to an order under section 50D does not prevent further directions being given in relation to the same order.

Continuous full time service otherwise than under this section

 (6) Nothing in this section prevents a member of the Reserves from being bound to render continuous full time naval, military or air force service otherwise than under this section.
