Active-duty airmen assigned to Turkey between Aug. 29, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2018, may be eligible for a new, $300-a-month Turkey Assignment Incentive Pay.

Airmen may apply for TAIP during three time periods: prior to departing their losing station; within 30 days of arrival in Turkey; or during their date eligible for return overseas forecast and initial vulnerable to move list windows.

Airmen now serving an unaccompanied tour of 12 or 15 months, who are within 30 days of arrival and agree to serve a total of 24 months in Turkey, will receive TAIP with a payment effective date based on when the airman elects the incentive.

Airmen now serving an unaccompanied tour of 12 or 15 months, who have been assigned in Turkey for more than 30 days, may elect TAIP if they extend their date of estimated return from overseas, an additional 24 months past their current DEROS. They will receive TAIP beginning the first month of their 24-month extension.

Airmen that have a projected assignment to Turkey, but have not yet arrived, may request TAIP, and, in turn, will serve a 24-month tour upon arrival in Turkey. They will receive TAIP beginning the date they arrive.
