Summary
The legislation amends the Internal Revenue Code to let members of the Armed Forces leave out from their gross income the compensation they receive while serving overseas, expanding the existing combat‑zone exclusion. It applies to both enlisted personnel and commissioned officers, but does not cover time spent abroad under permanent change‑of‑station orders.
