If there is a death in the family, such as an uncle, and my spouse is deployed to iraq, would his emergency leave count toward his regular leave he has currently?

YES...it absolutely counts towards your leave days, and as far as the death in the family is concerned, it would have to be a spouse, child, or parent of the servicemember for him to be allowed to go back to the states for the funeral and stuff.
Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Grandparents, Fiancees, Pets, and even Siblings are not valid reasons to be sent home from Iraq.
Believe me, we had it happen when I was there. Sorry.

Like everything in the Army, its up to the commander, but uncles and grandparents are usually not considered close enough to qualify for emergency leave. That s usually reserved for sposes, children, parents, and siblings. That being said, emergency leave is covered in AR 600-8-10, pg 44. Emergency Leave is chargeable, but not the travel to and from the states for the leave.

yeap. Emergency Leave is chargable against your current Balance. It grants you priority status on Space A flights as oppsed to regular leave, though.
only immediate family members(spouse, children, parents, siblings) would qualify for Emergency leave while deployed. The Commands usually have a smidge more flexibility while at the home base for extended family.

Yes, emergency leave counts against regular leave. An emergency is classified as the death or severe sickness or injury (near death) of an immediate family member: children, wife/husband, or parents.

It depends. If the soldier has no more leave left then leave time should be granted right away, but if this person has leave time it should not be taken away from his regular leave. And anyone who takes a flight in the US to the death can also get a reimbursement back from the airliners with a letter from the obituary.

Sorry but they would only let you use emergency leave to leave Iraq if it's the immediate family or your uncle, grandmother etc raised you. I was home on leave when my aunt died and I called to use emergency leave to stay longer with the family but they wouldn't let me. Sorry

Yes. If he were to get emergency leave approved it only effects his status, days of leave will still be deducted as normal.
