Stars and Stripes | By John Vandiver
The U.S. Army violated federal law by refusing to pay dual housing allowances to reservists on assignment in Europe and erred by taking disciplinary actions against them, a review board said in a ruling that also recoups a total of $500,000 for seven soldiers.
The decision Friday by the Army Board for the Correction of Military Records could have ramifications for numerous other troops and cost the Army millions more.
Army finance officials' decisions that "gave rise to the investigative and disciplinary actions ... were erroneously executed and erroneously implemented," the board ruled.
