摘要

MOAA President Vice Adm. Norb Ryan Jr., USN-Ret.,rnjoined leaders of several other military and veterans' associations at a Feb. 12 press conference announcing introduction of bipartisan legislation, H.R. 1052, calling for more reasonable dwell time for military units between combat deployments.rnIntroduced by Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.) and supported by more than a dozen other House members including Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C), the bill would set a minimum standard that active duty units should be home for at least the same duration as the previous deployment before being deployed again. For Guard and Reserve units, the standard dwell time would be three times the length of the previous deployment.
