c. Special Storage of HHG
Special storage of HHG is authorized for: single Soldiers (active duty and mobilized RC);
Soldiers married to another service member when both are deployed; Soldier married to another
service member residing at different permanent duty stations; and Soldiers who are single
parents with a childcare plan that requires the dependent to leave the residence. Qualified
individuals may store HHG at government expense for the period of the contingency operation.
Special storage funding for RC Soldiers is based on the mobilization order.

6–9. Privately Owned Vehicle (POV)

a. General Rules Governing Funding for POV Storage:
Army installations are responsible for funding storage of POVs. Installations are required to
obtain and obligate OCO funds to pay for all eligible deployment storage for AC and RC Soldiers.
The garrison RMO will provide a specified OCO LOA to the ITO for deployment POV storage.
The ITO will forward this OCO LOA through the IMCOM channels to the HQDA TAC coordinator
to obtain one unique TAC for all installation storage needs. Each ITO will track storage
obligations for future deployment storage purposes.
In cases when a garrison RMO has not received sufficient OCO funding, they must request
assistance through the Region RM to HQ IMCOM G-8 to obtain the funding.

b. POV Storage Authorization:
POV storage is not an automatic entitlement. All Soldiers must possess proper authorization
prior to seeking POV storage.
Soldiers may be authorized storage of one POV when deploying is support of contingency
operations. POVs will be stored IAW instructions provided by the local ITO.
RC personnel on TCS orders in support of contingency operations may be authorized storage at
home station. If the home station cannot offer a storage option, the servicing ITO may authorize
a personally procured storage at the home station. Soldiers must obtain a letter of authorization
with the appropriate LOA and associated transportation accounting code (TAC) prior to seeking
storage arrangements. RC Soldiers may only be authorized POV transportation from their home
station or residence to the assigned mob station and/or duty location (under JTR, para.
5376/5378) when use of POV is the most advantageous to the government and when home
station does not have a POV storage option. There is no authorization for payment of in-and-
around mileage.

6–10. Leave

a. Soldiers accrue 2.5 days of annual leave per month while serving on active duty.
Commanders and Soldiers are directed to develop a leave plan, at their TCS location, to ensure
leave is taken when available, per AR 600-8-10, para 2-2, Leaves and Passes. All mobilized RC
Soldiers are encouraged to take leave during the period of active duty or as part of the REFRAD
process.

b. Sell Back Cap of 60 Days. If military requirements limit taking leave during the period, the
RC Soldier mobilized for a contingency operation may cash in all accrued leave prior to REFRAD
without impacting their career sell back cap of 60 days.
