Lack of funding alone is not a basis to deny funded emergency leave travel. Emergency leave may be requested with or without American Red Cross verification. Soldiers may be authorized emergency leave for up to 30 days for emergency situations within the immediate family.
Soldiers being released from active duty may be authorized transition PTDY as defined in AR 600-8-10, paragraph 5-35. They may request either up to 30 days transition excess leave or transition PTDY to be used either in a series of trips or in one period together with transition leave or with transition.
