This bill clarifies provisions for compensation and benefits, and sets reimbursement rates for soldiers and airmen while serving during a non-emergency. It requires that soldiers and airmen serving in the Delaware National Guard who request an honorary promotion after retirement are deemed appropriate qualified by a professional and objective board. The awarding of the Delaware National Guard Medal would be expanded to those who served voluntarily in a combat zone. The bill also strikes out irrelevant sections.
