A member can request a split tour reassignment after serving how many months at the same activity?

The requirement for a member to request a split tour reassignment is based on the guideline that a service member needs to complete a certain period at their current assignment before becoming eligible to request a new assignment type. In this case, the correct time frame is 24 months.

Completing 24 months at the same activity allows the member to gain sufficient experience in their current position, contributing to both their personal development and the operational efficiency of the unit. This period ensures continuity and stability in the unit while still providing a structured route for career progression through reassignment when the time is appropriate.

The other time frames do not align with official policy, as they would not provide the same level of experience or stability needed to facilitate a smooth and effective transition to a new assignment.
