President Barack Obama signed the 2012National Defense Authorization Act onDec. 31, 2011, which increases active-dutyand reserve pay by 1.6 percent and governsDefense Department activities, from pro-curement to military personnel policy.

Several provisions in this year’s act willpotentially affect active-duty and retiredservice members and their families.

Section 347 requires DOD to financean independent assessment of overseastroop basing, advising retention, closure,realignment or establishment of U.S. mil-itary facilities outside the United States“in light of potential fiscal constraints on[DOD] and emerging national security re-quirements in coming years.”

Section 402 reduces authorized Armyminimum end strength from 562,000 to547,000. The other services’ authorizedminimum strengths are unchanged, with325,700 for the Navy, 202,100 for the Ma-rine Corps and 332,800 for the Air Force.

Section 512 of the act creates a newmember of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whichcurrently includes the Army and Air Forcechiefs of staff, the chief of naval operationsand the Marine Corps commandant. Thenew member will be the chief of the Na-tional Guard Bureau, who will have re-sponsibility for “addressing matters in-volving non-federalized National Guardforces in support of homeland defense andcivil support missions.”

Section 526 extends voluntary separa-tion pay and benefits authority, formerlyset to expire Dec. 31, to the end of 2018.Section 530 converts the high-deploymentallowance from mandatory to authorized.The allowance currently pays $100 a day,in addition to all other pay and allowanc-es, to a deployed service member whohas been deployed 401 days or more outof the preceding 730 days.

Section 701 limits annual Tricare enroll-ment fee increases for retirees and theirfamily members to an amount equal tothe percentage by which retired pay in-creases that year.

Section 702 sets mental health assess-ment requirements for service members de-ployed for contingency operations. The actcalls for a series of assessments: one within

120 days before deployment; another dur-ing the period between 90 days after a de-ployment begins and 180 days after it ends;a third within a year after the deploymentends; and a fourth between 18 months and30 months of redeployment.

The act states assessments are intendedto “identify post-traumatic stress disor-der, suicidal tendencies, and other behav-ioral health conditions … in order to de-termine which such members are in needof additional care and treatment for suchhealth conditions.”

Assessments are not required for ser-vice members “not subjected or exposedto operational risk factors during deploy-ment in the contingency operation con-cerned,” the act states.

Section 954 affirms that DOD “has thecapability, and upon direction by the pres-ident may conduct offensive operations incyberspace to defend our nation, allies andinterests,” subject to the law of armed con-flict and the War Powers Resolution.

Signing the bill into law Dec. 31, Presi-dent Barack Obama acknowledging “se-rious reservations” about parts of the act,particularly provisions that regulate thedetention, interrogation, and prosecutionof suspected terrorists.

“I have signed the act chiefly because itauthorizes funding for the defense of theUnited States and its interests abroad, cru-cial services for service members and theirfamilies and vital national security pro-grams that must be renewed,” Obama saidin a statement released today.

The act also contains critical initiatives tocontrol spiraling health-care costs within theDefense Department, develop counterter-rorism initiatives abroad, build the securitycapacity of key partners, modernize the forceand boost the efficiency and effectiveness ofmilitary operations worldwide, he noted.

Signing the bill into law Dec. 31,President Barack Obama acknowl-

edging “serious reservations”about parts of the act, particularlyprovisions that regulate the deten-tion, interrogation, and prosecu-

tion of suspected terrorists.

In on-going efforts to continue to size andshape the force to current and future re-quirements, Air Force officials announcedadditional force management programs.

The Air Force ended fiscal year 2011about 1,200 Airmen over endstrength.

For enlisted Airmen, voluntary pro-grams from last year will continue. Theseinclude waivers for Active Duty ServiceCommitments, time-in-grade, and enlist-ment contracts. Involuntary programsfrom last year will also continue includ-ing: date of separation rollbacks and ini-tial skills training separations.

There will be two new enlisted forcemanagement programs effective in fiscalyear 2013; effective 30 September 2013 —adjusted High Year Tenure limits and Ca-reer Job Reservation constraints.

HYT limits will be adjusted for senior air-man, staff sergeant, and technical sergeant.Specifically, senior airman will be reducedfrom 10 to eight years, staff sergeant willbe reduced from 20 to 15 years, and tech-

nical sergeant will be reduced from 22 to20 years. Staff sergeants with 16 years ormore total active federal military service asof Sept. 30, 2013, will be grandfathered andtheir HYT will remain at 20 years.

Approximately 1,700 Airmen will beaffected by the changes to HYT. Airmenwill have two additional opportuni-ties to test for promotion before the newHYT takes effect. This implementationtimeline provides impacted Airmen 20months to plan for separation or retire-ment from active duty should they notbe selected for promotion.

CJR constraints will limit the number offirst termAirmen who can reenlist based onAir Force Specialty Code career job require-ments. The CJR program objective is to pre-vent surpluses and shortages in the careerforce.AFPCcontrolsfirst termreenlistmentsby maintaining a career job requirement filefor each AFSC. Airmen in overmanned ca-reer fields eligible for a CJR will be deter-mined by a quality “rank order” process inthose constrainedAFSCs. TheAir Force willannounce the expected 15-20 AFSCs to beconstrained at a later date.

For officers, voluntary and involuntaryprograms will continue. Voluntary mea-sures will be offered to officers in certainyear groups and overage career fields toallow time-in-grade and ADSC waivers.Likewise, the Expanded PALACE CHASEand the 10 to eight Commission Waiverprograms will continue to be offered.

There will be one projected involuntaryofficer board, a Force Shaping Board, forprobationary officers; those officers with

less than six years of total active federalcommissioned service. The board will con-sider eligible officers in specified AFSCsand in certain year groups. Details of thisboard will be announced at a later date.

There are currently no plans for Vol-untary Separation Pay, a Reduction inForce board or Selective Early RetirementBoards for FY13. Additionally, some selec-tive continuation limitations, impactingtwice deferred Captains and Majors, willremain necessary although potentially lessstrident than in FY12. As a minimum, theAir Force will consider for selective con-tinuation all officers within 5 years of re-tirement or those in critical skills.

Air Force leaders are committed to sus-taining excellence and meeting fiscal re-quirements. Today's Airmen should expectcontinued force management measures un-til the desired endstrength is met.

Despite questions about whether theWalgreens pharmacy chain will continueas a TRICARE provider, beneficiaries willhave several options for filling prescrip-tions, Defense Department spokeswomanEileen M. Lainez said today.

"We are committed to ensuring all ourpharmacy beneficiaries are aware of themany options that TRICARE makes avail-able to them," said Army Brig. Gen. Bry-an Gamble, the TRICARE deputy direc-tor. "By now, all of our beneficiaries whouse Walgreens to fill prescriptions should

have been contacted to advise them oftheir pharmacy options and to take actionto ensure their pharmacy benefit remainsuninterrupted. The health of our servicemembers, retirees and their families re-mains my number one priority."

In addition to 56,000 network pharmacies,Lainez said, TRICARE beneficiaries haveother pharmacy options, including militarypharmacies at no cost and convenient, low-cost TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery.

Beneficiaries can check the TRICAREwebsite at www.tricare.mil for more in-formation.
