※on temporary duty:

※in leave status:

Also known as military leave, an approved absence from official duty, with pay, for an employee who is a member of the National Guard or a reserve component of the Armed Forces.

※area of operations （AO）:

An operational area defined by the force commander for land, air, and naval forces conduct of combat and non-combat activities.
