If you're on orders, and a battle assembly falls in that time period, I've always been taught that you don't have to make it up, that you get a 'B' code (on orders) and don't have to make it up unless you want to. Now I have a friend who's in WLC for 2 weeks, a BA falls during that time, and they're making her make it up. Does anyone have a regulatory cite to prove she doesn't have to?
UPDATE:
Thanks to my friend's chain of command just not giving a rip about their Soldiers' civilian job commitments, as evidenced by establishing a MUTA-12 for no good reason, my friend decided to let her contract expire, and she is no longer in the Guard at all. Thanks for the advice, everyone. She's a happy civilian now.

From my past reserve tours orders can only make up time for annual training, but battle assembly which falls on weekends must be made up so that the numbers of battle assembly are met. There were times in which orders were cut for annual leave in which they end on a Friday so that the weekend battle assembly was used to take care of the administrative functions and supply functions after annual training.

Chief, I this past January, I had to attend a USR/YTB and I was placed on orders for this. My BTA dates fell under my order dates. My UA, who happens to be an USAR JAG NCO, stated that I am good to go and didnt have to make them up. If you would like, I can get with him and see if he and I can track an actual regulation for you?

Thank you, MSG (Join to see) , I would appreciate that very much. The regulatory cite is exactly what she needs. I'm not finding it in AR 140-1.
