§7459 Mixed-funded Athletic and Recreational Extracurricular Programs: Authority to Manage Appropriated Funds in Same Manner as Nonappropriated Funds

Title 10 › Subtitle B — Army › PART III — TRAINING › CHAPTER 753 — UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY › § 7459

Last updated Sep 22, 2026|Official source

Summary

The Secretary of the Army may choose to treat money that was appropriated to the Army for certain Academy athletic or recreational extracurricular programs as if it were nonappropriated funds. If the Secretary does this, that money follows the rules for nonappropriated funds and stays available until it is spent. A "mixed-funded" Academy program is an athletic or recreational extracurricular program that meets four rules: it is not a morale, welfare, or recreation (MWR) program, it gets support from appropriated funds, it is supported by a nonappropriated fund instrumentality, and it is not a private organization and is not run by one.
