§ 37-01-26 — Pay of officers and enlisted men assigned to special duty

Any commissioned officer assigned to special duty by the governor or under the governor's
authority must be paid duty pay for the time actually employed, and the officer's necessary
traveling expenses and subsistence when such payment is authorized by the governor. Judge
advocates must be paid such compensation as shall be approved by the governor for services
in bringing any suits provided for in this title, and in actions or proceedings by habeas corpus,
certiorari, or otherwise. All staff officers must be paid duty pay for special service ordered by
competent authority with the approval of the governor. Enlisted persons on duty under orders of
the governor, but not at the time serving with troops, shall receive the same rate of pay as is
provided for the national guard when called into active service by the governor and their actual
traveling expenses and subsistence.
