What is the maximum leave balance a member classified as missing (not presumed dead) can accrue?

A member classified as missing, but not presumed dead, can accrue a maximum leave balance of 150 days. This rule is in place to ensure that service members who are not accounted for in a situation such as combat or other operational environments still receive a fair amount of earned leave that recognizes their service and sacrifices. The maximum accrual limit is important in managing and tracking leave within military personnel systems, reflecting both the potential for future use of leave and the operational realities faced by members in these unique circumstances.

In contrast, balances beyond 150 days, such as 180 or 200 days, are not permitted for those classified as missing under military regulations, reinforcing the system's need for efficiency and accountability in leave management.
