If an individual has a DAV code of 31, what is their deployment status?

A DAV code of 31 indicates that the individual is eligible to deploy, but there are some specific conditions that apply. In this case, the deployment status under this DAV code means that deployment is permissible if the Commander removes the "AAC" (which stands for Assignment Action Code) “16.” This typically signifies that while the individual may have certain limitations or issues that normally restrict deployment, these can be overridden by a Commander’s approval on a case-by-case basis.

This level of flexibility allows for operational needs to be met while also considering the individual’s circumstances. Commanders have the authority to assess the potential risks and benefits of deploying someone with a DAV code of 31, and if they determine that deployment is in the best interest of the mission, they can proceed with the necessary adjustments.

This nuanced position clarifies that individuals with DAV code 31 are not totally restricted from deployment and can engage in operational activities, contingent upon the leadership's assessment and removal of certain codes.
