Amends Executive Order 11157 to change the definition of "field duty" for military pay purposes under title 37 of the United States Code. Section 303(e) is revised to remove language referring to members under orders with troops operating against an actual or potential enemy, and Section 401(b) is similarly revised to strike a reference to service by a member under such orders. The changes took effect at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on October 28, 1994, and apply to the military pay and allowance provisions governed by Executive Order 11157.

Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.

Claimed authority

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 402(e)(1) of title 37, United States Code, it is hereby ordered

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.

Disposition

Amends: EO 11157, June 22, 1964

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
