MATTER


OF:


Second


Lieutenant Franklin S. Tuck, USA


DIGEST:


An Army officer wtis ordered to Fort
Benning, Georgia, to participate ip two
training courses, The orders characterized
the assignment as temporary duty although
it was scheduled to last '3 weeks. While
under the regulations and Comptroller General
decisions assignments to training at one
location for 20 weeks or more is usually a
permanent change of station, in this case
6 weeks of the training was performed at
two other installations and the member was
treated in other respects as beiig on temi-
porary duty,  Thus, the characterization of
the assignment In the orders as temporary
duty for travel allowance purposes will not
be nuestioned,


     The question in this case is whether an Army member
ordered to Fort Benning, Georgia, to attend two training
courses which, combined, were scheduled to take 23 weeks
may be considered to have been on temporary duty and
entitled to per diem, or must be considered to have been
transferred there on permanent change of station. Al-
though a transfer for training in excess of 20 weeks at
the same station is usually considered a permanent change
of station, in this case it may be considered temporary
duty since the orders so provided, the training took
place at three different locations, and the member was
treated as being on temporary duty.
     The question wis presented by the Finance and
Accounting Officer, Headquarters United States Army Avi-
ation Center and Fort Rucker, Fort Rucker, Alabama, and
involves payment on a travel voucher for Second Lieuten-
ant Franklin S. Tuck, USA.   The matter was assigned Con-
trol Number 81-19 and forwarded to us by the Per Diem,
Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.


     By orders dated June
having recently graduated
tary Academy, was ordered
from West Point, New York,


6, 1979, Lieutenant Tuck,
from the United States Mili-
on permanent change of station
to Fort Bragg, North Carolina
