I was informed today by an individual that USAREUR has a different policy pertaining to use or lose days than big Army. He explained to me that USAREUR use or lose start at 40 days instead of 60 days. I have checked HRC as well as AR 600-8-10 and cannot find any proof of this. Has anyone heard of this before?

Can't trust them barracks lawyers man. Army policy states that use/lose leave starts at 60 days, unless you are currently deployed or have been deployed during the fiscal year that prevents you from using regular leave. Ask where the policy letter is at, and if there isn't one, just keep them. I honestly miss the days of 75 leave days before hitting use/lose. I just left USAEUR last November, so I'm fairly familiar with USAEUR policies.

AR says 60 days before "use or lose." USAREUR Regulations cannot change that. Units have to have policy letters, which must be on file and accessible, explaining the unit's leave policy while in Europe. I.e. when one can/cannot use leave, travel restrictions, etc.

This is not a policy. However you must always 'Trust, but verify'. Ask to see the policy in writing. It could be somewhere in your CoC that it was made a policy. If it's not written and signed by Command it's not a policy.
