MATTER OF:


Department of
overseas for


the Army 
two married


Shipment of vehicles
employees


DIGCEST:


H!usband and Wife who are both transfered
to overseas duty stations in same approxi-
mate area may be authorized shipment of two
vehicles under certain conditions, Each
employee must Sign transportation agreement,
although the agreement of the employee who
is only shipping a'vehicle and claiming other
relocation expenses as dependent'of spouse
should be limited.


     The issues in this case are (1) whether thpre. I an
entitlement for twol married employees to ship two pri-
vately ovned vehicles when both employees are transforred
to overseas duty stations in the same approximate area,
and (2) whether each employee should sign a transportation
agreement. We hold that under certain circumstances each
employee may ship a vehicle overseas and each employee
should be required to sign a transportation agreement,

     This decision is in response to a request from
J. A. Doyle, Assistant Socretary of the Navy for Manpower,
Reserve Affairs and Logistics, which has been forwarded
through the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance
Committee, PDTATAC Control No. 80-33.

     The requet' states', that the Department of, the.Army has
several husband/wife teams employed as Quality Assurance
Specialisbs with each employee subject to mandatory trans-
fers.  It is Army policy to assign husband/wife team members
to different locations in the same overseas area.When pos-
sible, to preclude conflicL with nepotism regulations.   As
to the entitlement of each employee to ship a privately
owned, vehicleb overseas, the request points. out that Volume
II o01 the Joint Travel:,'egulations (2 JTU), para. C 4000-2,
limlcs entitlement i-icident to a transfer when two married
employees are both transferred to duty stations in the same
approximate area.
