Sec. 1586. Rotation of career-conditional and career employees

assigned to duty outside the United States

-STATUTE-

(a) In order to advance the programs and activities of the

extent consistent with the missions of the Defense Establishment

and sound principles of administration, of such employees who are

assigned to duty outside the United States.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of

Defense with respect to civilian employees of the Department of

Defense other than employees of a military department, and the

Secretary of each military department with respect to civilian

employees of such military department, may, under such regulations

as each such Secretary may prescribe with respect to the employees

concerned and in accordance with the policy and other provisions of

granted under this section shall be without reduction in the

seniority, status, and tenure held by the employee immediately

before his assignment to duty outside the United States and the

carry out sections 3501-3503 of title 5.

(6) If there is a termination of or material change in the

activity in which the former position of the employee (referred

to in paragraph (1)) was located, he shall be placed, in the

manner provided by paragraphs (2), (3), and (4), as applicable,

in a position in the department concerned in a geographical area

other than the geographical area in which such former position

was located.

(d) Each employee who is placed in a position under paragraph

(1), (2), (3), (4), or (6) of subsection (c) shall be paid at a

rate of basic pay which is not less than the rate of basic pay to

which he would have been entitled if he had not been assigned to

duty outside the United States.

(e)(1) Each employee who is displaced from a position by reason

of the exercise of a return right under subsection (c)(1) shall be

placed, as of the date of such displacement, without reduction in

seniority, status, and tenure, in a vacant existing position or new

continuing position, for which he is qualified, available in the

department concerned, in the same geographical area as, with rights

and benefits equal to the rights and benefits of, in a grade equal

to the grade of, and at a rate of basic pay not less than the last

rate of basic pay which is not less than the last rate of basic pay

to which he was entitled while in, the position from which he is

paragraph (1), he shall be reassigned to a position other than the

position from which he is displaced, or separated, under the

regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management to

carry out sections 3501-3503 of title 5.

section, to be an assignment to duty outside the United States.

employees referred to in subsection (b) to duty outside the

United States and the return of such employees to duty within the

United States.

applicable to civilian employees of the Department of Defense who

are residents of Guam, the Virgin Islands, or the Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico at the time of their employment by the Department of

Defense in the same manner as if the references in such subsections

to the United States (when used in a geographical sense) were

references to Guam, the Virgin Islands, or the Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico, as the case may be.
