22 U.S.C. § 3424: Nonreimbursed costs

Summary

U.S. agencies may give administrative and technical help to the Multinational Force and Observers without being paid back, if the President allows it and it does not cause significant extra costs. Such free help, including property, services, and personnel under section 3422, must be kept to a minimum. The President may also provide military training to those foreign forces. Contractors can provide logistical support instead of U.S. troops, and the President may let contractors work without reimbursement if he finds it supports U.S. national security, even if that would otherwise be limited by subsections (a) and (b) and section 3426(b).
