and orders governing the discipline of officers and enlisted men of the
Coast Guard. Disciplinary action for an offense committed while sub-
ject to such laws, regulations, and orders shall not be barred by release
from duty status of any person charged with the commission thereof,
and, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this section
members of the Reserve may be retained on or returned to duty status
without their consent, but not for a longer period of time than may be

§ 759. Uniform allowance
(a) Upon first reporting for active duty or training duty at a loca-
tion where uniforms are required to be worn, a commissioned or war-
rant officer of the Reserve may be paid a sum, not to exceed $100, as
reimbursement for the purchase of the required uniforms, and there-
after such officer may be paid an additional sum of $50 for the same
purpose upon the completion of each period of not less than four years
in the Reserve. This latter amount of $50 shall not become due any
officer until called to active or training duty after the expiration of
the previous four-year period. In times of war or national emergency
a further sum of $150 for the purchase of required uniforms may be
paid to officers of the Reserve upon first reporting for active duty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the Com-
mandant may prescribe a lesser amount as a uniform allowance to
commissioned and warrant officers of the Reserve who are not required
to purchase or have in their possession the complete outfit of uniform
clothing prescribed for other commissioned and warrant officers of
the Reserve.
(b) Cadets and enlisted personnel of the Reserve may be allowed
the cost of or issued such uniforms, bedding, and equipment as may
be prescribed by the Commandant, the value of such allowances or of
items so issued to any person during any three-year period not to
exceed $100. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, enlisted per-
sonnel of the Reserve, upon first reporting for active duty in time of
war or national emergency may be issued such additional articles as
are required to give them the same outfit authorized for enlisted per-
sonnel of the regular Coast Guard upon first enlistment.
§ 760. Disability or death benefits for temporary members
(a) In case of physical injury, or death resulting from physical
injury, to any temporary member of the Reserve incurred incident to
service while performing active Coast Guard duty, or engaged in
authorized travel to or from such duty, the provisions of law authoriz-
ing compensation for employees of the United States suffering injuries
while in the performance of their duties, subject to this section, shall
apply, and shall be administered by the Bureau of Employees' Compen-
sation, Federal Security Agency, in the same manner and to the same
extent as if such person were a civil employee of the United States
and were injured in the performance of his duty. For benefit compu-
tation, regardless of pay or pay status, such person shall be deemed
to have had monthly pay of $150.
(b) This section does not apply in any case coming within the pur-
view of the Workmen's Compensation Law of any state, territory,
or other jurisdiction because of a concurrent employment status of such
temporary member; and where such temporary member or dependent
would be entitled to a benefit under the provisions of law authorizing
compensation for employees of the United States suffering injuries
while in the performance of their duties and also to any concurrent
benefit from the United States on account of the same disability or
