Sec. 9301. Members of Air Force: detail as students, observers, 
        and investigators at educational institutions, industrial 
        plants, and hospitals
        
    (a) The Secretary of the Air Force may detail members of the Air 
Force as students at such technical, professional, and other civilian 
educational institutions, or as students, observers, or investigators at 
such industrial plants, hospitals, and other places, as are best suited 
to enable them to acquire knowledge or experience in the specialties in 
which it is considered necessary that they perfect themselves.
    (b) An officer, other than one of the Regular Air Force on the 
active-duty list, who is detailed under subsection (a) shall be ordered 
to additional active duty immediately upon termination of the detail, 
for a period at least as long as the detail. However, if the detail is 
for 90 days or less, the officer may be ordered to that additional duty 
only with his consent and in the discretion of the Secretary.
    (c) No Reserve of the Air Force may be detailed as a student, 
observer, or investigator, or ordered to active duty under this section, 
without his consent and, if a member of the Air National Guard of the 
United States, without the approval of the governor or other appropriate 
authority of the State or Territory, Puerto Rico, or the District of 
Columbia of whose Air National Guard he is a member.
    (d) The Secretary may require, as a condition of a detail under 
subsection (a), that an enlisted member accept a discharge and be 
reenlisted in his component for at least three years.
    (e) The total length of details of an enlisted member of the Air 
Force under subsection (a) during one enlistment period may not exceed 
50 percent of that enlistment.
    (f) At no time may more than 8 percent of the authorized strength in 
commissioned officers, 8 percent of the authorized strength in warrant 
officers, or 2 percent of the authorized strength in enlisted members, 
of the Regular Air Force, or more than 8 percent of the actual strength 
in commissioned officers, 8 percent of the actual strength in warrant 
officers, or 2 percent of the actual strength in enlisted members, of 
the total of reserve components of the Air Force, be detailed as 
students under subsection (a). For the purposes of this subsection, the 
actual strength of each category of Reserves includes both members on 
active duty and those not on active duty.
    (g) Expenses incident to the detail of members under this section 
shall be paid from any funds appropriated for the Department of the Air 
Force.
