What differentiates LTTDY from TDY?

The distinction between LTTDY (Long Term Temporary Duty) and TDY (Temporary Duty) primarily lies in the duration of the assignment. LTTDY typically involves an extended period away from the home station, often exceeding the standard timeframe associated with TDY. This longer duration can affect various aspects of the assignment, such as the type of support provided, logistics, and personnel management.

In contrast, TDY assignments are generally for shorter periods, fitting within a more immediate operational or training need. As a result, recognizing the difference in duration is crucial for planning, resource allocation, and understanding the implications on personnel and operations in Border Patrol settings.
