After what event can a member request a split tour reassignment?

A member can request a split tour reassignment after serving 24 months at the same activity. This policy is designed to provide stability and the opportunity for personal and professional development through diverse assignments. Serving two years at the same duty location can lead to a variety of experiences, but there might be a desire for a new challenge or change in environment following that period. The reassignment process allows members to expand their skills and knowledge, supporting career progression in the military.

The options involving completion of basic training or serving for only 12 months do not meet the standard set for split tour reassignment, which is why they do not apply in this case. Additionally, reaching a certain age does not provide grounds for reassignment; rather, it is the length of service at a particular duty station that qualifies a member for this request.
