   MATTER OF:     Captain John A. Davis, USA


   DIGESr

         An Army officer who had no dependents is
         not entitled to a quarters allowance for
         the period (which exceeded 3 rmontbs) he
         was assigned to temporary duty in the
         Sinai with the Multinational Force and
         Observers monitoring the implementation of
         the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, During
         such duty he apparently was furnished
         quarters by the Government and his, huuse-
         hold goods were stored at Government ex-
         pense, Since duty with the Multinational
         Force is determined to be field duty; he
         may not receive a quarters allowance
         because 37 U.S.C. 5 403(c) precludes pay-
         ment of the allowance to a member on field
         duty in these circumstances.
     This action is in response to a request from the
Finance and Accounting Officer, Headquarters 101st Airborne
Divisioni, Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for an advance decision.
The Finance Officer asks whether Captain John A. Davis, USA,
is entitled to be paid basic allowance for quarters for the
reriod he served with the Multinational Force and Observers
in the SinaiwPeninsula of Egypt. We assume that the period
of the duty was In excess of 3 months and we have concluded
that the duty performed was field duty. Therefore,
Captain Davis as a member without dependents is precluded
from being paid basic allowance for quarters for this
period under 37 U.S.C. § 403(c).

     The request for decision was assigned control number              :r
DO-A-1407 by the Department of Defense Military Pay and
Allowance Committee and was forwarded to us by letter from
the Office of the Comptroller of the Army.

                            Facts

     While the record ve were furnished tfs sparse, it
appears that Captain Davis, while serving with the
