What is a 'pass' in the army?
In military terms, a 'pass' is official permission for a soldier to be absent from duty for a short period, often a few days. It's similar to leave or time off. Offering a four-day pass to play Grand Theft Auto VI is a creative way for the US Army unit to reward commitment and boost morale.
