§2013 Training at Non-government Facilities

Summary

The Secretary in charge may make agreements to train members of the uniformed services at non‑Government facilities, even if section 6101 of title 41 would normally apply. A "non‑Government facility" means: a State or territorial government or its units; a foreign government or international organization the President approves; a medical, scientific, technical, educational, research, or professional institution; a business or commercial firm; private individuals; or the services or property of any of these. The Secretary may use available funds to pay part or all of a member’s pay while in training and may pay or reimburse necessary training expenses without regard to subsections (a) and (b) of section 3324 of title 31. Examples of allowed expenses are travel and per diem under sections 405 and 452 of title 37 and the Joint Travel Regulations; transportation of family and household goods and related services under sections 452 and 453(c) of title 37 when the estimated transportation costs are less than the estimated total per diem for the training; tuition and fees; library and lab services; books, materials, supplies; and other services directly related to the training. Membership fees are not paid unless they are a necessary cost for the training or must be paid before the member can attend.
