Individual deployments may have been on TDY, but they also were largely on TCS orders as well.<br /><br />With TCS orders you were authorized like $3 a day for incidentals. No lodging, no subsistence.<br /><br />The Army and Marines abandoned the individual filler system to preserve unit cohesion against an individual filler system. Units going to war trained together, fought together, and came home togetherResponse by LTC Jason Mackay made Jul 10 at 2020 9:08 AM2020-07-10T09:08:53-04:002020-07-10T09:08:53-04:00SFC Michael Hasbun6088618<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Clue #1: What does the P in PCS stand for?Response by SFC Michael Hasbun made Jul 10 at 2020 10:07 AM2020-07-10T10:07:05-04:002020-07-10T10:07:05-04:002020-07-10T08:51:10-04:00
