This law lets certain military officers get extra money for uniforms. They can receive up to $200 when they start an active-duty tour longer than 90 days. It doesn't apply if they got over $400 recently, or return within two years.

(a) In addition to the uniform allowance already given under section 415, certain officers can get up to $200 back for extra uniforms and equipment required on that duty. This applies to a reserve officer of an armed force; an officer of the Army or Air Force without a specific component; a Space Force officer not on sustained duty; or a regular officer appointed under sections 2106 or 2107 of title 10. The officer gets this reimbursement each time they enter active duty for a period of more than 90 days. (b) This extra payment doesn't apply in two situations. First, it doesn't apply if the officer already received an initial uniform reimbursement or allowance of more than $400 under any law, either during that same tour or within the two years before starting it. Second, it doesn't apply if the officer enters on that tour within two years after finishing an earlier active-duty period of more than 90 days.
