Sec. 703. Reenlistment leave

    (a) Leave for not more than 90 days may be authorized, in the 
discretion of the Secretary concerned, or his designated representative,

section shall be deducted from leave accrued during active service 
before reenlistment or charged against leave that may accrue during 
future active service, or both.
    (b) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, and 
notwithstanding subsection (a), a member who is on active duty in an 
area described in section 310(a)(2) of title 37 and who, by 
reenlistment, extension of enlistment, or other voluntary action, 
extends his required tour of duty in that area for at least six months 
may be--
        (1) authorized not more than thirty days of leave, exclusive of 
    travel time, at an authorized place selected by the member; and
        (2) transported at the expense of the United States to and from 
    that place.

Leave under this subsection may not be charged or credited to leave that 
accrued or that may accrue under section 701 of this title. The 
provisions of this subsection shall be effective only in the case of 
members who extend their required tours of duty on or before June 30, 
1973.
