The Assistant Secretary points out at under the current provisions of 1 JTR, paragraph M11005-1, when a member on active duty is officially reported as dead, injured, ill, or absent for a period of more than 29 days in a missing status, the member's privately owned motor vehicle may be shipped at Government expense, including overland transportation. The vehicle may be shipped to the member's home of record, to the residence of the. member's dependents, next of kin, or other person entitled to receive custody of the member's effects, or to such other place as may be determined in accordance with service regulations,.
