What this publication covers
AR 614-30 governs Army overseas service. It addresses selection and eligibility for overseas service, tour subjects, curtailments, extensions, and consecutive overseas tours. This is the policy reference to consult when a question concerns the overseas service framework rather than the administrative steps for issuing orders or clearing an installation. The contents distinguish several kinds of tour and movement questions.
Identify the service setting and the tour action being researched. AR 614-200 covers enlisted assignment policy, AR 600-8-11 covers reassignment processing, and AR 600-8-101 covers personnel processing. Family travel is another connected subject with a separate reference. This overview maps those distinctions without quoting tour lengths or deciding a request from incomplete facts. Use the current official text and personnel channels for eligibility, curtailment, extension, and family-related circumstances before making plans.
