In computing the maximum amount of forfeiture in dollars and cents (see forms of sentences, App. 9) the base pay of the soldier (of the reduced grade if the sentence carries a reduction) plus pay for length of service (and overseas pay if no confinement is adjudged) will be taken as the basis. The term "base pay" comprehends no element of pay other than the minimum base pay of the grade or class within grade as fixed by statute and does not include extra pay for any special qualifications or for special duties performed, such as flying pay or pay incident to qualification as a combat infantryman. Unless dishonorable or bad conduct discharge is adjudged the monthly contribution of a soldier to family allowance will be excluded in computing the amount of pay subject to forfeiture. In computing time of absence without leave any one continuous period of absence found that totals not more than 24 hours is counted as a day; any such period found that totals more than 24 hours and not more than 48 hours is counted as two days, and so on. The hours of departure and return on different dates are assumed to be the same if both are not found. In determining the maximum punishment for two or more separate and distinct, but like, offenses against property, values as found in different specifications can not be aggregated. Bad conduct discharge may be adjudged upon conviction of any offense for which dishonorable discharge is authorized in the table. Immediately upon a declaration of war subsequent to the effective date of this manual the prescribed limitations on punishment for violations of Articles of War 58, 59, 61, 64 and 86 will be automatically suspended and will not apply until the formal termination of such war or until restored by Executive order prior to such formal termination.1 1 NOTE: The limitations upon punishments for violations of Articles of War 58, 59 and 86 were suspended until further orders, as to offenses committed after February 3, 1942, by Executive Order No. 9048, February 3, 1942. The limitations upon punishments for absence without leave from command, guard, quarters, station, or camp in violation of Article of War 61 were suspended until further order, as to offenses committed after December 1, 1942, by Executive Order No. 9267, November 9, 1942. Executive Order No. 9683, January 19, 1946, terminated the suspensions of limitations upon punishments for violations of Articles of War 58, 59, 61 and 86 as to offenses committed after January 19, 1946, except offenses committed in occupied enemy territory. Executive Order No. 9772, August 24, 1946, terminated the suspensions of limitations upon punishments for offenses committed after August 24, 1946 in occupied enemy territory.
