1. This ACN cancels REF (A) and updates the Special Leave

ongoing Coast Guard response to the National Emergency resulting
from COVID-19 pandemic.

carryover for FY21–FY23:

loss of leave. Commands are encouraged to work with members to
plan leave which balances member and family needs with mission
readiness.
