The Defense Department has issued policy for employees who
perform work in support of, or related to, a military
operation, including a contingency operation, or an operation
in response to a declared emergency, while assigned to an
overseas area of responsibility of the Commander of the U.S.
Central Command. The policy establishes that covered employees
are paid under a higher annual limitation of $200,000 during
calendar year 2005, rather than the standard limitation
defined under 5 U.S.C. 5547.
The memo delegates authority to determine when employees
meet the eligibility criteria established in DoD’s guidance
and procedures.
