FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

Section VII:
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
075240 GENERAL
As a corollary to the carrying out of assigned support responsibilities in
connection with international treaty organizations or to the furnishing of
supplies or services or performance of work for foreign governments, a
precise delineation of funding relationships between the Department of the
Navy and the international organization or foreign government is required.
These relationships are usually governed by provisions of law or by
Department of Defense directives and are stated in written agreements or
memoranda of understanding. The involvement of the Department of the
Navy may take one of the following forms:
1. furnishing support or material to the international organization of foreign
government on a reimbursable basis,
2. furnishing support or material on a nonreimbursable basis when the
performance is a mission responsibility stemming from an administrative
agent designation by the Department of Defense or when the support consists
of routine port or airport services to friendly foreign governments performed
by military personnel,
3. cost-sharing on a bilateral or multilateral basis with the host and other user
nations of the operation and maintenance costs of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization infrastructure.

ACTIVITIES
1. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The administrative agent is the Secretary
of the military department charged with the determination of U.S. national
requirements and provisions of logistical and administrative support to a U.S.
element of the particular international treaty involved. The support
responsibility of the administrative agent includes complete supply support for
consumable and non consumable material, with the exception of certain initial
issuances made by assigning service to its Table of Organization or equivalent
type units and of personally assigned equipment provided by the assigning
service. Military personnel costs are also the budgetary responsibility of each
service for its own military personnel. DoD Instruction 2010.1 provides
general policy and accounting guidance with a list of the international
agencies for which the Department of the Navy has been designated the
administrative agent.
