U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 411e. Travel and transportation allowances: transportation incident to certain emergencies for members performing temporary duty
(a) Under uniform regulations prescribed by the Secretaries
concerned, a member of a uniformed service who is performing
temporary duty away from his permanent duty station (or who is
assigned to a ship or unit operating away from its home port) may
be provided the travel and transportation authorized by section 404
of this title for travel performed by the member from his place of
temporary duty (or from his ship or unit) to his permanent duty
station (or the home port of the ship or unit) or to any other
location, and return (if applicable), if such travel has been
approved incident to a personal emergency of the member.
(b) Transportation under this section may be authorized only upon
a determination that Government transportation is not reasonably
available, considering the nature of the personal emergency
involved. The cost of transportation authorized under this section
may not exceed the cost of Government-procured commercial air
travel from the member's place of temporary duty (or from his ship
or unit) to the member's permanent duty station (or the home port
of the ship or unit), and return (if applicable).
