Title 10 — Armed Forces

Part III · Chapter 953 — United States Air Force Academy

§ 9447. Cadets; nominees: effect of redistricting of States

Statutory text

If as a result of redistricting a State the domicile of a cadet, or a nominee, nominated by a Representative falls within a congressional district other than that from which he was nominated, he is charged to the district in which his domicile so falls. For this purpose, the number of cadets otherwise authorized for that district is increased to include him. However, the number as so increased is reduced by one if he fails to become a cadet or when he is finally separated from the Academy.
