§2013 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary in charge can arrange for members of the uniformed services to train at non-government places. Non-government places mean things like state or local governments, a foreign government or international group the President approves, schools and research centers, private businesses, private people, or services and property owned by any of those. With available funds, the Secretary can pay all or part of a member’s regular pay while they train and can pay or repay necessary training costs. Covered costs include travel and daily allowances, moving family and household goods when that move costs less than the per diem for the training period, tuition and fees, library and lab use, books and supplies, and other services directly related to the training. Membership fees are not paid unless they are needed for the training or are required to take it.
