COT and IPCOT Leave Travel Entitlement is calculated by determining the distance between the member's duty station and various authorized leave destinations, such as the member's home of record (HOR) or place they request to take leave. The distance determines the number of leave days authorized.

Can a member take leave and travel to a destination other than their home of record (HOR)?
Yes, a member can take leave and travel to a destination other than their home of record (HOR) if the requested location is within the maximum authorized distance set forth in the regulations, and if it is approved by the member's commanding officer.

Dependent travel is authorized for members serving consecutive overseas tours. However, the member must request dependent travel separately following the appropriate regulations and procedures.

Members may, under certain circumstances, request an extension of their leave beyond the authorized period. However, the extension must be approved by the member's commanding officer and submitted timely.

What happens if a member's tour is curtailed or shortened?
If a member's tour is curtailed or shortened, the Leave Travel Entitlement is appropriately adjusted according to the time spent on the tour. The member may be entitled to a different number of leave days based on the revised tour dates.
