Units should request orders (AFCOS or DTS) through their normal channels and in accordance with their state procedures using the information provided below. Funding will be submitted to states on a quarterly basis. Bear in mind that the 1st quarter of each Fiscal Year will be difficult because it is during this time period that we receive our funding guidance through NGB. In years when the Defense Authorization Act has not been signed by the President, the funding can be delayed even further because the funding used to support the program is not yet in the POM cycle and is therefore not considered a funding necessity. We will work hard to get the funding to the states as soon as it becomes available to us. If you have any questions, please contact George Williams at 703-398-8076. BEAR IN MIND THE LDR PROGRAM DOES NOT PROVIDE THE FUNDING USED TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM. WE ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPROPRIATE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS PROVIDED BY NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU.
Duty Status: Active Duty for Training (ADT). DO NOT USE OUR FUNDING TO COVER ANNUAL TRAINING. You may use our funding to travel the soldier to and from Annual Training, however the Annual Training period itself must be paid using Annual Training funds.

Active Duty for Training
a. Fewer Than 140 Days
. When the active-duty-for-training period contemplated by an authorization/order is for fewer than 140 days (except as noted in par. U2146) at any location, travel and transportation allowances are payable as provided for TDY in Ch 4. Except if par. U7150-A1b or U7150-A1c applies, per diem or AEA is payable at the training location. When, during an active-duty-for-training period of fewer than 140 days, the duty must be extended due to unforeseen circumstances and the prospective extended period is fewer than 140 days (including the days remaining on the existing authorization/order and the number of days added by the extension), per diem or AEA continues for the entire period. When the prospective extended period is for 140 or more days (including the days remaining on the existing authorization/order and the number of days added by the extension), no per diem or AEA is payable from the date of the authorization/order directing the additional/extended duty except as authorized in par. U7150-A4b(3) for non-training active duty TDY. See par. U2146 for extension examples.
