Environmental and Morale Leave

The holiday season is a time when families will be traveling to celebrate around the world. Military, Department of Defense employees, contractors and Yokota dependents need to be aware of travel requirements for a host of destinations around the world, to include new travel restrictions to Mexico.

The Individual Anti-Terrorism Plan (IATP) and the Environmental and Morale Leave (EML) should be a part of your travel planning this holiday season and in future travels.

The Individual Anti-Terrorism Plan (IATP) is mandatory for worldwide travel with the exception of CONUS or any U.S. Territories or Possessions.

Per the PACOM OPORD 5050-08 and the DoD Foreign Clearance Guide, U.S. Military, DoD Civilians, and/or Contractors within the USPACOM AOR must enter their travel information into Individual Anti-Terrorism Plan (IATP). For U.S. PACOM assigned personnel, all travel worldwide must be entered.

U.S. military, DoD employees, and/or contractors must complete an IATP at least 5-10 days prior to departure regardless if for official or unofficial travel. To learn more about country restrictions and the IATP process visit the guidance sheet listed to the right of this page or contact the Anti Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) Office at DSN 225-9759.

The Environmental and Morale Leave (EML) Program is a method of leave for service members and their collocated families who are stationed at overseas bases to take leave and travel to the mainland or to a different location using space available government air transportation.

Individuals and families on EML have a higher priority for seating on the space available government air transportation than those traveling on regular leave.

Members are allotted two EMLs per year; EML orders are good for up to 90 days. Also located to the right of this page is the EML Request Form and Program Instructions.

Specific details about the EML Program can be obtained from USPACOM Instruction 0201.2, also located to the right of this page or by contacting the customer support office in the Military Personnel Section at DSN 225-9913.
