Summary
H.R. 3200 would expand the travel benefits available to military members serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom who are granted leave through the Rest and Recuperation (R&R) program. Under this bill, the Department of Defense would be required to pay for or provide transportation for these service members to travel from their overseas deployment locations all the way to their permanent duty stations or their homes of record. Additionally, the bill requires a report to Congress to determine the feasibility and cost of making these expanded travel allowances a permanent feature for all future military rest and recuperation programs.
