SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Headquarters. Army Retirement Services (DAPE-RSO), is the proponent for regulations in 32 CFR part 574 and, acting with the advice of his operations and legal staffs, had concluded these regulations are obsolete. Due to changes in the laws governing oversight of the U.S. Soldiers' and Airmen's Home, there is no longer a necessity for these regulations. After coordination with The Judge Advocate General (ATTN: DAJA-ALG) and the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Air Force (ATTN: AF/DPI), it was rescinded April 1994. In August, DOD has rescinded DOD directive 1338.20, “Armed forces Retirement Home (AFRH). Therefore, it would be helpful in avoiding confusion with the public if 32 CFR, Part 574, is removed.
