10 U.S.C. § 2110: Logistical support

Summary

The head of each military department can give schools with program units, or the officers in charge, the gear and help they need. That includes vehicles (even aircraft), arms and ammo, textbooks, and uniforms (or money for uniforms). They can set up or hire civilian flying schools to teach flight training. They can move members and approved applicants to and from bases for exams or visits, and provide food, lodging, and medical care while they travel or are at the base. They can also let them go on military flights and ship cruises and spend money needed to run the program well. Each school that gets issued property must provide a bond or other guarantee for its safekeeping. The bond must be at least $5,000, unless the school shows it is financially responsible and the department accepts a bond without a co-signer.
