30 If a cadet returning from a pass or leave period will be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, weather, or airline challenges, he/she needs to be in touch with the chain of command. Accountability is the cadet’s responsibility. Emergency Leave In the event of a family emergency, TACs may approve leave requests that meet the criteria for Army emergency leave status (death of a parent, in loco parentis, or immediate family member). Passes may be granted for situations that do not meet the criteria for Army emergency leave by the Regimental Tactical Officer after approval from the TAC. Neither of these situations count against the cadet’s baseline passes for the semester. If parents cannot reach their cadet, they should call the cadet’s tactical officer or TAC NCO (phone numbers on page 51). Parents may also call the Central Guard Room 845.938.3030, which is staffed 24 hours a day. In addition, if there has been a death in the family, please contact the Red Cross at redcross.org/herocarenetwork or 877.272.7337. The Red Cross helps with the verification in order for the chain of command tomake a decision regarding emergency leave. DEVELOPING LEADERS OF CHARACTER
