§2251 Household Furnishings and Other Property: Personnel Outside the United States or in Alaska or Hawaii

Summary

The head of each military department may buy household furniture and cars from service members and DoD civilian employees who are serving outside the United States or in Hawaii, and resell those items at cost to incoming people. The head may also give household furniture for free to service members or DoD civilian employees who live in non‑government housing while serving outside the United States or in Alaska or Hawaii. These actions can only be used under rules approved by the Secretary of Defense and only when doing so would be beneficial to the United States.
