FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

parts of organizations that perform NWCF management headquarters
functions, should be directly funded by NWCF, if feasible, or reimbursed
by NWCF on a pro rata basis. Only significant costs (costs in excess of 1
percent of the total business area cost or $1 million, whichever is less)
should be reimbursed. Significant costs for common support (e.g., counsel
or personnel) at organizations partially funded or reimbursed by NWCF
(i.e., that have direct NWCF management responsibilities) should also be
allocated if feasible.
9. CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS.
a. POLICY.
All NWCF business areas operate on a reimbursable basis. Payment
for contingency operations, including deployment or other emergency
response for military or humanitarian assistance, is no exception. The
command/activity that orders a service from a NWCF activity,
including transportation services requested from the United States
Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), must pay for the service.
NWCF activities should not accept orders without funding. If the
command or activity ordering the service does not have sufficient
funds to place an order with the NWCF activity, a request for
additional funding should be forwarded to ASN(FM&C) through the
chain of command. When a Unified Commander tasks a Navy unit to
perform a contingency-related mission, the cost of transportation of
that unit and its equipment is the responsibility of the appropriate
major claimant.
b. TRANSPORTATION.
1. When USTRANSCOM receives an order from the Joint Chiefs
of Staff requiring transportation of non-U.S.-owned equipment or
non-U.S. personnel, such as unreimbursed efforts in support of the
United Nations. In these instances, the Army will pay costs
incurred by the Military Traffic Management Command, the Navy
will pay costs incurred by the Military Sealift Command; and the
Air Force will pay costs incurred by the Air Mobility Command.
2. Third party collections for transportation provided in response
to a Request for Assistance (RFA) from another government
agency are prohibited. The major command that controls the
equipment or personnel being transported is responsible for
reimbursing USTRANSCOM. The command that accepted the
RFA is responsible for collecting any required reimbursements due
to the Department by the requesting government agency.
10. FOREIGN MILITARY SALES AND NON-FEDERAL CUSTOMERS.
It is the DOD policy to recover all costs associated with work or
services provided to foreign military customers and other non-federal
