The Secretary must require the member to reconfirm or change the designation periodically and whenever the member is deployed for a contingency operation or in other circumstances the Secretary specifies. (b) At a member’s request, the Secretary concerned must allow the member to revise the named people at any time. The revision must be in writing.
