What is the updated length allowed for paternity leave?

Is there any validity to all the news articles from 2016 saying paternity leave was extended from 10 to 14 days? I can not find the proper supporting documentation.

I just had this discussion a couple months ago after my wife had our son. My unit saw the DOD directive and called HRC to get their guidance. HRC put out that it is still 10 days until they release an Army specific policy, they apparently felt that the DOD instruction was too vague. Nothing has been posted as of today. Check the S1 net on milsuite for the current updates.
