Training and Administration of Reserves (TAR) officers moving to a
new duty assignment in a Headquarters Reserve Program billet,
(2) by the Reserve Personnel, Marine Corps (RPMC) appropriation
for Category 6 Marine Corps Reserve personnel performing PCS
travel to and from a Category 6 assignment.
d. Assignments to Military Assistance Advisory Groups (MAAG's) and
Missions. The cost of PCS travel incurred in the assignment of members
to duty in Security Assistance Program billets in overseas MAAG's and
Missions is reimbursable to the MPN or MPMC appropriation, as
appropriate, from the Military Assistance appropriation. Reimbursement
rates are costed statistically at one-half the prescribed foreign composite
standard rate. Reimbursement to the applicable accounts is provided by
the Defense Security Assistance Agency based on reports received from
MAAG's and Missions.

military members from a permanent duty station pending further

of personal property of military members hospitalized under PCS orders
are also chargeable as a PCS movement.

3. FUNDING POLICY FOR CIVILIAN PERSONNEL PCS TRAVEL. The
cost of PCS travel for Department of the Navy civilian employees is
administered at the activity level. Accordingly, when a Department of the
Navy activity is responsible for costs of a PCS movement of an employee, and
that employee is paid from appropriated funds, such cost is chargeable to
activity operating funds. The cost of PCS travel of an employee of a
nonappropriated fund instrumentality is chargeable to appropriated funds.
The Joint Travel Regulations, par. C1052, sets forth the specific assignments
of financial responsibility for gaining and losing activities for PCS movements
under special circumstances.
