Transportation Allowances Incident
to Extension of Assignment


The Joint Travel Regulations may be
amended to authorize in certain situ-
ations the movement of a service mem-
ber's dependents and household goods
to his new duty station upon the
extension of his assignment although
he had initially moved them to a
location near his previous duty sta-
tion because his new assignment was
of relatively short-term duration.
The type situations contemplated
include where a member attends a
service-operated college for 1 year's
training and he demonstrates such
knowledge and ability that he is
asked to join the faculty because of
the needs of the service concerned.


     The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and
Reserve Affairs) asks us to decide whether Volume 1, Joint
Travel Regulations (1 JT7R) may be amended to allow trans-
portation of a uniformed service member's household goods
and dependents from one permanent residence to another
when a member is reassigned from a contemplated duty tour
of short duration Lo one of extended duration at the same
permanent station. With certain limitations the regula-
tions may he so amended.

     The question was forwarded to us by the Per Diem,
Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee under
PDTATAC Control No. 82-19.

     For illustrative purposes the submission discusses a
case where an officer received a permanent change of
station to attend Professional Military Education Training
at the Air War College for a period of 1 year. The member
and his famn ly are occur-irng Government quarters at the
ol Un2rma.ent dut' Staa io  uat   st bu , e vacated upon his
departure. In anticipation of relocating to a new duty
station upon completion of the training the member elects
to relocate his family near the old permanent duty station
rather than move his family and household goods across the
country to the new permanent duty station for the short-
term assignment of 1 year.
