Welcome You Are Welcome to the

U.S. Military Vacation Portal

The U.S. Military Leave program is designed to allow service members to use their authorized leave to the maximum extent possible.

The leave program allows service members to get relieve from the pressure and stress of their assigned military's duties, so as to being able to spend time with families, take care of emergencies or just to relax and recuperate.

The US Army Military Vacation and Retirement Board is here to help our military personnel men and women balance their work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take reasonable paid or unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons.
