No. Kuwait is no longer an IDP location. It is identified as a CZTE location only (meaning your pay is tax free). The SSI-FWTS is authorized only if you are serving in support of an approved operation in an IDP location. IDP locations are identified in the DODFMR Volume 7a. Kuwait stopped being an IDP location 01 Jan 15.

Was just there. There was a policy that said you had to go to iraq, Syria, jordan. I think it said as soon as you were there you were eligible, or 24 hrs. Kuwait did not count
