Under current policy, members of the MFO are not eligible for the USCENTCOM R&R Leave Program for the following three reasons: 1) While the MFO is located within the USCENTCOM AOR, Egypt is not one of the seventeen eligible designated countries; 2) USCENTCOM has not imposed any restrictions on MFO travel and/or ordinary annual leave programs; 3) The MFO does not support OEF/OIF. The MFO pre-dates OEF/OIF by over 20 years and was created as part of the Israeli-Egyptian Peace Initiative and is a peace keeping mission. MFO forces are under US State Department control and operational control of MFO Rome, not USCENTCOM. Click here for further information.
