5. FACILITIES AND SYSTEMS
a. General. Host and tenant responsibilities with respect to facilities and
systems are set forth in subpars. (1) through (5).
(1) Common-Use Facility. The military department that has
command for all costs associated with the provision of a common-use
facility.
(2) Joint-Use Facility. The military department that has command
responsibility over the host is responsible for costs necessary to
acquire, construct, rehabilitate, install equipment, or otherwise make
usable a facility that is planned for the joint-use of the host and tenant.
However, when conversion, alteration, modification, initial repair, or
installation of equipment for an existing facility is a requirement of the
tenant, and would not otherwise be accomplished by the host, the cost

the sole use of the tenant. Upon termination of tenancy, when the

department that has command responsibility over the host is

approval of the Secretary of Defense. The parent organization of the
tenant is responsible for costs necessary to extend, expand, or increase
a secondary utility, communication, or transportation system which is
an integral part of a sole-use facility and which connects with the main
or primary system.

facilities including sole-use facilities to which the host hold title is the
financial responsibility of the host. Costs arising from maintenance or
repair which is considered to be beyond that prescribed by host
regulations, and which is performed at the request of the tenant, is
