This regulation outlines the policies and guidance for remission or cancellation of indebtedness to the U.S. Army. It allows all Active Army Soldiers and those in the Active Guard/Reserves program to submit an application for remission or cancellation of indebtedness to the U.S. Army. Guidance is included on the submission and processing of applications for remission or cancellation of indebtedness to the U. S. Army. It also provides guidance for Soldiers who have been released from active status to include Army National Guard and Reserve Components that have incurred a debt to the U.S. Army. This revision includes provisions for commanders to request remission or cancellation of indebtedness on behalf of two or more active duty Soldiers for similar circumstances based solely on injustice. It also eliminates the requirement for a General Court-Martial Convening Authority to act on cases when the Soldier’s immediate commander has not resolved suspension of debt, pending Human Resource Command’s decision, or when Defense Accounting Officer/Financial and Accounting Officer or United States Property and Fiscal Officer determines that the interests of the U.S. government could not be adequately protected if the debt was suspended.
