1. This MILPER message will expire one year after release and applies to active duty Soldiers. Guidance on Reserve Component Mobilization to Dwell policy is located in DoDI 1235.12.
2. Dwell time is the time a unit, detachment, or individual is not on a deployment. Individual dwell time reflects the time a Soldier is not on a deployment, while unit dwell time reflects the time an entire unit is not on a deployment. The Army uses dwell time to safeguard Soldiers from repetitive exposure to deployments unless required by operational necessity. Dwell time protections do not apply to unit training events, exercises, or mission support temporary duty.
