At Defense Head Quarters, we know how important it is to spend quality time with your loved ones, especially when you’ve been away for long stretches. That’s why we’ve streamlined the process of applying for leave so that military personnel can quickly and efficiently request time off, whether for a short break or an extended leave. Our system is designed to minimize the time you spend on paperwork and maximize the time you can enjoy with your family and friends

Kindly be advised that emergency leave is not exempt from charges unless it is necessitated by a documented, life-threatening situation.
You are therefore requested to review the applicable leave categories and select the one that accurately reflects the nature of your request.

EMERGENCY LEAVE CATEGORIES:

The following emergency leave durations are available for selection:
• Category A: One-week leave
• Category B: Two-week leave
• Category C: One-month leave
• Category D: One-month work leave

Once a leave category has been selected, the corresponding processing fee will be communicated to you. Kindly note that fees vary based on the duration chosen, and payment must be made in full according to your selection and your capacity to support your partner’s stay.

Purpose of Payment:
Emergency leave application fees are instituted to support the U.S. military authority with the logistics and operational costs associated with temporarily replacing deployed personnel. This ensures a seamless transition of duties and safeguards the operational integrity of missions while allowing approved personnel to take time off for valid, verified reasons.

These policies must be fully understood and complied with by any applicant, partner, or fiancée requesting leave on behalf of military personnel. Please be aware that failure to follow these guidelines or complete the required payment may result in the denial or cancellation of the leave request.

Note: Only full payment for the selected leave category will be accepted. No partial payments will be processed.

You are hereby requested to confirm your chosen leave category (A–D) so that payment instructions and the corresponding date of arrival can be provided to you.
