Long story short....im a reserve TPU Soldier, Resident of Hawaii. Currently on CO-ADOS orders since Feb 2018. I will be going Regular Army (Component 1) and have a report date to Fort Irwin on August 30th. Am I eligible for the 10 days of TLA since I'm coming onto active duty as opposed to PCS'ing?

MAJ Private RallyPoint Member Your best source is DFAS. This is what they have available on their site: https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/faqtla.cfm

Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) - Frequently Asked Questions

The actual rules for TLA are in the JTR, pars. U9150 through 9195. Following are answers to some basic questions concerning TLA and an extract from the JTR indicating TLA computation steps and showing computation examples.

No. TLA is OCONUS only. TLE is CONUS (Ft.Irwin)
