May an Army member who performs aircrew duty involving surveillance flights which take him away from his permanent station for less than 10 hours be paid a partial per diem for meals which he is unable to take at his permanent station? Per diem may not be paid in these circumstances.1 The duty with which we are concerned involves reqularly scheduled flights of more than 6 but less than 10 hours. While it is not clear from the record, it appears that no landings are made away from the permanent station. Mr. Stewart feels that he should be paid a partial per diem for meals that he is unable to take at his permanent station because the fliqht schedules conflict with dining facility hours at the permanent station. His claim was initially denied by the finance officer because no written orders directing temporary duty were issued. Tn this regard the local commander has stated that the local duty area encompasses the radii of the surveillance flights and that no written orders will be issued for the duty. Additionally, he indicates that per diem will be oaid only in strict conformance with Volume 1 of the Joint Travel 1 This question was presented by a Finance Officer as a result of a claim for reimbursement for meals submitted by Chief Warrant Officer William Stewart, USA. The matter has been assigned PDTATAC control number 83-9, by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.
