(2) Temporary Additional Duty.
The organizational component which budgets for and funds the
temporary additional duty (TAD) travel will also budget for and
fund the costs of transportation and handling of household goods,
except when the TAD travel is related to security assistance. In
this case, the rules as stated in subpar. (1) with respect to PCS
moves are also applicable to TAD moves.
(3) Local Moves
(a) Entitlement. The Joint Travel Regulations, Vol. 1, par
U5355 establish the entitlement to Government funding of any
necessary drayage and storage of household goods related to
involuntary moves (i.e., assignment, reassignment, termination
of assignment, or incident to involuntary extension tour of
duty) which are directed by competent authority on the basis of
a requirement of the Service concerned. Procedures
surrounding assignment to Government quarters, in view of the
Government's interest in keeping them occupied, are such that
assignments of quarters to members who, because of their
nonavailability for immediate occupancy upon arrival,
voluntarily place their names on a housing waiting list, are
considered to be a requirement of the Service and, thus a
proper Government expense. Likewise, when a tour of duty at
a location outside the United States is extended involuntarily
and a member is required, for reasons beyond his control, such
as refusal of landlord to renew lease agreement, to change his
residence on the local economy, the move is a proper
Government expense. Local funding shortages do not negate
the previously stated entitlement; however, in determining the
propriety of funding of reassignments or terminations of
assignments or moves related to involuntary extensions
overseas, the undertaking at Government expense must be
subjected to evaluation as to whether it is in the Government's
interest or is primarily for the convenience or morale of the
members. For additional guidance see Transportation of
Personal Property (NAVSUP P-490), par. 7008.
(b) Public Works Centers or "Lead Activities.” If the
commercial arrangements are made on behalf of personnel
assigned to any activity at a complex served by public works
centers or by the public works department of an activity having
"lead activity" responsibility for public works functions, or
assigned to housing managed by the public works center, the
activities specified in subpar. a(2) will have the funding
