Army Regulation (AR) 600-8-10 does not yet address paternity leave.

US Army ALARACT Message ALARACT 062/2009 ARMY GUIDANCE FOR PATERNITY LEAVE is the policy that explains the limitations and authorizations for paternity leave for active duty Army personnel. I have included the title of the message for quick reference to find the ALARACT. But this message was published 10 Mar 2009: paternity leave is only authorized for a married soldier on active duty, active guard and reserve (AGR) duty, whose wife gives birth to a child on or after 14 Oct 2008. Paternity leave is a non-chargeable administrative absence. Paternity leave legislation cannot be applied to single soldiers fathering a child out of wedlock. Also paternity leave will not exceed 10 days, must be taken consecutively and within 45 days after the birth of the child. (Although Soldiers deployed to areas with leave-restrictive policies in effect have 60 days upon returning from deployment to use the 10 days of paternity leave.) If not used within the stated timeframe, the leave is lost. This non-chargeable paternity leave is applicable to single pregnancies, to include those that result in multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.). The message aplies to births that happened 15 Oct 2008 and beyond.

President Bush signed into law on October 14 2008 the Duncan Hunter Defense Authorization Bill 2009(s3001) which mandates 10 days of paternity leave for military service members.

More information can alos be found in DoD Instruction 1327.06 dated June 16, 2009 which

states the following information regarding Paternity Leave:

"Paternity Leave. A married member on active duty whose spouse gives birth to a child shall receive 10 days of non-chargeable leave of absence to be used in connection with the birth of the child. This absence should be taken consecutively and within a reasonable amount of time following the birth." (p. 17, Sec. K [Non-Chargeable Leave], Para. 5 [Paternity Leave])

"...Additionally, Service members are authorized to combine a paternity leave of absence with R&R. The actual leave period at the R&R destination shall be charged to the Service member's leave account, except for the 10-day paternity leave of absence." (p. 16, Sec. J [Chargeable Leave], Para. 9 [R&R Leave], Subparagraph (d)) - particularly relevant to deployed soldiers!

Where is the new army regulation for paternity leave for army fathers?

The Army was the last force to decide what they were going to do with the new paternity leave policy. For information you can look up ALARACT 062/2009. Basically the policy is that you have up to 45 days after the birth of your child to take the 10 days of "free" leave. If you are deployed you have up to 60 days after your redeployment to take the leave. For those who took (chargeable) leave in conjunction with the birth of their child between the 14th of October 2008, and the 10th of March 2009 you can get 10 days of leave credited back to your leave balance.
