C. 2054U ILE: B-212338 DATE: December 27, 1983 MATTER OF: Shipment Overseas of Replacement Vehicles OIWEST: Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations may be amended to authorize shipment of a replace- ment vehicle for a member of a uniformed ser- vice stationed overseas for a protracted period when his vehicle becomes impractical to repair because of normal deterioriation and wear. The law requires only that replacement became necessary for a reason beyond the con- trol of the member and that replacement is in the interest of the United States. May Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations (I JTR) be amended to authorize the shipment overseas at Govern- ment expense of a replacement vehicle for a member of the uniformed services whose privately owned vehicle becomes impractical to repair due to normal deterioration in cases where the member performs successive tours of duty over- seas?1 For the following reasons the regulation may be amended to authorize such a shipment. The Acting Assistant Secretary points out that some members serve successive tours overseas. For example, there is a member currently stationed overseas who has been there since 1973. Under the current regulations no authority exists for the member to ship at Government expense to his overseas station, a vehicle to replace a vehicle which is no longer practical to operate because of normal deterioration. We have been asked whether we would object if the regulations are amended to authorize the shipment of a replacement vehicle at Government expense to a member's duty station overseas. A member of the Armed Forces who is ordered to make a permanent change of station is entitled to the transpor- tation at Government expense of one motor vehicle owned by him or his dependents to the new permanent duty station. 1 This question was presented as a request for advance decision by the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower, Reserve Affairs and Installation and has been assigned PDTATAC Control No. 83-17 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. 07-r59 - - - - - - 'r ^ _
