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

Summary

Allows the head of a military department to set up training for service members at non-government places and to do so without following section 6101 of title 41. A "non-Government facility" can be state or territorial governments and their parts; a foreign government or international group the President approves; schools, research, medical, or professional institutions; businesses; private people; or the services and property they provide. The department head can use available funds to pay some or all of a member’s pay while training and can pay or reimburse necessary training costs without following subsections (a) and (b) of section 3324 of title 31. Covered costs include travel and per diem instead of subsistence (see sections 405 and 452 of title 37 and the Joint Travel Regulations), moving family and household goods when cheaper than per diem (see sections 452 and 453(c) of title 37 and the Joint Travel Regulations), tuition and fees, library and lab services, books and supplies, and other directly related services. Membership fees are not paid unless they are required for or essential to the training.
