No one else.\n\n**What changes:**\nWhen Colonel Scott is assigned to **Operation PALADIN** during his UNTSO posting, the normal allowances and leave conditions found in Chapter 17 Part 7 of Defence Determination 2016/19 **do not apply** to him. Essentially, he loses access to certain standard benefits during specific operational assignments.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is a bespoke administrative adjustment for a senior officer on a specific UN peacekeeping mission. It ensures his conditions of service align with the specific operational status of Operation PALADIN rather than standard overseas posting conditions."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/defence-determination-conditions-of-service-deputy-chief-of-staff-to-the-united-nations-truce-superv","history":"/api/acts/defence-determination-conditions-of-service-deputy-chief-of-staff-to-the-united-nations-truce-superv/history","analysis":"/api/acts/defence-determination-conditions-of-service-deputy-chief-of-staff-to-the-united-nations-truce-superv/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/defence-determination-conditions-of-service-deputy-chief-of-staff-to-the-united-nations-truce-superv/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/defence-determination-conditions-of-service-deputy-chief-of-staff-to-the-united-nations-truce-superv/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/defence-determination-conditions-of-service-deputy-chief-of-staff-to-the-united-nations-truce-superv/documents"}}
