SGT Private RallyPoint Member 4271982 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My platoon was on a mission in 2017-2018 in turkey for a couple of months very much past the specific longitude line into the designated combat zone. It took us about a year to receive our GWOTEM from our unit. While there we received the IDP/HDP, tax exclusion, carried our live rounds and such but saw no actual combat. I&#39;ve read the regulation but no one is entirely sure. 2019-01-09T11:29:36-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 4271982

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There&#39;s got to be SOMEONE in your unit that is smart enough to interpret AR 670-1 21-17, right? It makes it pretty clear in there what areas and time periods are authorized for SSI-FWTS. And if not covered, what it states as far as &quot;future conflicts&quot;.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Did this ever get figured out? I think I am on this same deployment. The S1 here says we should be good for all that stuff but our home station s1 said no.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Has anyone figured this out? I deployed there twice between 2014-2015 and had to fight to get a GOTEM.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So I got confirmation the 173rd approved combat patches for this deployment. Has anyone been able to contact their S1 or HRC to get approval now that this is officially a thing?
