include a detailed explanation of—

a. The savings and benefits to be gained by the exception.

b. The costs and effects of not following the established policy.

1-5. RESPONSIBILITIES

a. The Transportation Branch, Logistics Division, HQ IMCOM-Europe, will—

(1) Be the single POC for policy, guidance, execution, and procedures for NTV management,

acquisition, and use.

(2) Serve as the United States Army garrison (USAG) representative and advocate for HQ

IMCOM, senior mission commanders, and vehicle source providers on NTV-related issues.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(3) Serve as the primary management proponent for the heavy armored vehicle (HAV) and

security-escort vehicle (SEV) fleets.

(4) Coordinate the fielding and expansion of the Interagency Fleet Management System (IFMS)

NTV Program and establish policy guidance and procedures for the program in IMCOM-Europe.

(5) Acquire, manage, program, dispose of, and report to higher headquarters on the IMCOM-

Europe Army-owned NTV fleet.

(6) Provide policy guidance on the lifecycle (acquisition, operation, supply, maintenance,

inventory, reporting, and disposal) of NTVs in Federal Supply Class 2300 in the European region.

(7) Provide regional oversight of and support for the fielding of transportation motor pool (TMP)

software.

(8) Consolidate and submit cost-performance data for DA-mandated reports.

(9) Provide oversight of NTV tables of distribution and allowances (TDAs).

(10) Provide policy guidance on standards for TDA adjustments, justifications, utilization

requirements, and vehicle assignments.

b. USAG commanders will—

(1) Appoint personnel throughout their USAG to ensure IMCOM-Europe NTV programs are

managed and executed to standard.

(2) Ensure all tenant organizations appoint a unit transportation coordinator (UTC).

(3) Ensure that activities responsible for managing, operating, and maintaining NTVs implement

and follow the policy guidance and procedures in this regulation.

(4) Ensure NTVs are properly assigned on a recurring- or general-dispatch basis to meet

validated customer requirements. USAG commanders will also—

(a) Conduct quarterly reviews of dispatch categories.

(b) Adjust user dispatch categories based on utilization criteria and command goals for the

proper balance of recurring versus general-dispatch use.

(5) Manage, supervise, and develop procedures to implement DA policy, Army in Europe

guidance, and technical instructions to ensure NTVs are used efficiently. Implementation includes

conducting mandatory formal training for UTCs on fleet management procedures and ensuring that

tenant unit users of NTVs follow IMCOM-Europe policy execution guidance and instructions.

(6) Establish and maintain records for inventory, authorization, distribution, operation, use,

maintenance, and cost and performance reports on Army-owned NTVs and IFMS vehicles, as

applicable.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(7) Determine when the official use of NTVs is necessary based on whether the transportation

is—

(a) Required to successfully complete an official military function, action, or operation.

(b) Consistent with the purpose for which the vehicle was acquired.

(8) Ensure NTVs are not issued to tables of organization and equipment (TOE) units when this

would duplicate authorized allowances of tactical vehicles. Army-owned or -controlled vehicles leased

from the IFMS or commercial sources for base operations (BASOPS) support will not be transported

from any installation or used by any unit to augment TOE equipment shortfalls for any deployment,

field exercise, training exercise, or tactical operation. Installation TMP assets are procured or leased for

the benefit of installation activities and agencies, not as a supplement to military equipment. These

assets are intended to support missions in the IMCOM-Europe area of responsibility that are

administrative in nature.

(9) Report excess Army-owned NTVs to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch for

redistribution or disposal. Excess NTV disposition requests must include two copies of DA Form 461-5.

(The IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch will keep one copy and return the other copy to the unit

that stewards the vehicle.) Appendix B provides instructions for completing DA Form 461-5. Excess

IFMS vehicles will be identified to the supporting IFMS fleet center. DA Form 4610-R should be

prepared to show changes to USAG TDAs when applicable (para 2-3).

(10) Provide a secure motor-pool storage area for excess assets pending disposition instructions.

(11) Ensure NTVs are not transferred between USAGs and other commands without the approval

of the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch and local IFMS fleet centers.

(12) Provide tenant units quarterly utilization data on request from the UTC or authorized unit

representative.

c. Tenant unit commanders will—

(1) Develop and publish guidance for interviewing NTV driver candidates according to AR 600-

55, appendix B.

(2) Ensure winter drivers training is conducted and documented annually. AE Regulation 385-55,

appendix D, provides guidance on conducting this training.

(3) Ensure Soldiers who have had at-fault accidents, been convicted of driving under the

influence of alcohol or drugs, or committed numerous traffic violations receive remedial training

according to AR 600-55 and AE Regulation 600-55.

(4) Ensure that NTV license suspensions for speeding and seatbelt violations are enforced

according to AE Regulation 190-1 and AE Regulation 600-55.

(5) Ensure reimbursement is made to the USAG for—

(a) Damage to NTVs according to paragraph 2-13.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(b) Use of NTVs for other than BASOPS purposes.

(6) Appoint a UTC.

d. UTCs will—

(1) Serve as the unit POC for all NTV issues, including NTVs in recurring-dispatch status and

requests for NTVs from the general dispatch fleet.

(2) Attend required training on the duties, responsibilities, and procedures for sound fleet-

management practices.

(3) Obtain and be familiar with the USAG standing operating procedure (SOP). This SOP is

available from the local TMP.

(4) Create and maintain an in-house scheduling system to ensure customer NTV requirements are

recorded and met.

(5) Consolidate and coordinate NTV requirements to ensure the maximum possible use of the

unit NTV fleet.

(6) “Right-size” the unit fleet to ensure that assigned vehicles meet utilization standards.

(7) Provide guidance, assistance, and documentation to unit personnel when they are referred to

the TMP for general-dispatch support.

(8) Ensure all personnel using recurring-dispatch vehicles are properly licensed, conduct

preventive-maintenance checks, and are familiar with NTV use and documentation requirements.

(9) Ensure dispatch sheets are properly completed and that all NTV use (miles driven and days

used) is documented.

(10) Conduct quarterly utilization reviews based on total unit transportation requirements for

recurring-dispatch vehicles, privately owned vehicle (POV) mileage, commercial bus and rail, and

general-dispatch NTV use.

(11) Serve as the TMP POC for the resolution and payment of fines for traffic violations and

reimbursement for accidents incurred by unit NTV users.

(12) Serve as the TMP POC for requests for modification of assigned NTVs. Modification

requests must meet Army garrison and TMP guidelines for permissible work. The requesting unit will

pay for the original modification and the restoration of the vehicle to its original configuration and

design.

(13) Comply with policy and instructions on reporting utilization data.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(14) Coordinate the timely delivery of assigned NTVs to maintenance vendors for service and

repair as directed by the TMP. Local contractors will perform all maintenance, repairs, and warranty

service on IFMS vehicles. The TMP will notify UTCs with instructions on the turn-in for routine

maintenance and scheduled services. UTCs will coordinate the delivery of the NTV, pickup and delivery

of the driver, and later retrieval of the NTV.

(15) Record maintenance downtime on the dispatch sheet and coordinate with the TMP to report

when NTVs are placed in and returned from maintenance status. UTCs will inform the TMP of all

maintenance issues with local contractors.

(16) Serve as the unit POC for NTV breakdowns. This includes informing unit leaders and NTV

users that the unit is responsible for coordinating and providing onward or return transportation to

stranded users. Units must coordinate with the TMP for the assignment of alternate NTVs or make

alternate transportation arrangements to recover stranded NTV users. Onward and return transportation

of stranded NTV users is not the responsibility of a vehicle-recovery contractor, the TMP staff, or the

IFMS.

(17) Immediately notify the TMP if an NTV user reports a vehicle breakdown or accident. The

TMP will require enough information to coordinate vehicle recovery.

1-6. NTV UTILIZATION STANDARDS

a. The justification for establishing and maintaining NTV authorizations will be based on the three

measures of NTV utilization: monthly miles or kilometers driven, percentage of days in a month that the

NTV is available and used, and criticality of use.

(1) DOD and DA mileage-utilization standards will be applied to NTV use in Europe to

determine the effective use of passenger-carrying and general-purpose NTVs. DOD and DA require only

a mileage-utilization standard. In the European region, the standard is both an examination of monthly

miles driven and a utilization percentage based on days used.

(2) The daily utilization percentage in Europe is based on the following criteria:

(a) The number of days that the NTV is available for use. (This is based on the number of

workdays each week, including holidays. Weekends and days that the vehicle is in maintenance are

excluded.)

(b) The number of days used. (This is based on the number of days that the dispatch indicates

the vehicle was driven.)

driven by the number of days the vehicle is available for use. The minimum monthly use percentage is

80 percent. All NTVs (including remnant fleet vehicles) that fall below this percentage for 3 consecutive

months should be identified and analyzed for potential return to the general dispatch fleet, turn-in to the

defense reutilization and marketing office (DRMO), or turn-in to the IFMS.

NOTE: If an underused IFMS vehicle is not eligible for replacement or turn-in, the TMP should cross-

level IFMS assets to ensure that a turn-in to the IFMS occurs.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(3) The criterion for criticality of use was established to recognize mission-essential

requirements. Under this criterion, users are permitted to justify failure to meet minimum utilization

criteria based on the critical-mission shortfalls that would be caused by the loss of an assigned NTV.

Criticality-of-use justifications also recognize the essential nature of the NTV assignment, which is

similar but less critical than DOD and DA assignments of some vehicles as “continuous assignment.”

b. TMPs will initially identify NTVs as properly used based on utilization criteria. However, the

utilization percentage does not necessarily confirm actual proper utilization; it is only a notice to fleet

managers of potential utilization issues. When utilization data indicates underutilization, the garrison

TMP manager will conduct further analysis to determine the appropriate dispatch status. Analysis should

include the following:

(1) Actual use patterns for the last year. Seasonal requirements for some special-purpose and

special-mission vehicles must be considered.

(2) Mission impact. How would the loss of the NTV affect the unit’s ability to accomplish its

mission?

(3) The number of other vehicles assigned to the unit and their ability and availability to

accomplish the mission.

(4) The number of vehicles in the general dispatch fleet and their ability and availability to

accomplish the mission.

c. Fleet managers should continuously monitor NTV assets to ensure they are properly used. Yearly

utilization reviews may be conducted by reviewing a designated percentage of vehicles each month. All

unit vehicles must be reviewed each year. This method allows the workload to be distributed evenly

throughout the year and provides more time to work with users and review their requirements and use

patterns. The recommended approach is a series of monthly reviews that include at least the following:

(1) A review of the mileage and actual days each vehicle is used.

(2) Revalidation of recurring-dispatch assignments.

(3) Verification that on-hand assets are the minimum quantity and size required to support

mission-essential requirements.

d. If a review indicates that a vehicle is not meeting utilization standards for 3 consecutive months

and the criticality of use does not justify a recurring dispatch, the user’s requirements should be met

through a daily dispatch or the general dispatch fleet. The previously assigned NTV should be

considered for use by other activities with adequate criticality-of-use justification.

(1) If no activity can justify the use of the NTV, the vehicle should be considered excess and

returned to the appropriate IFMS fleet center after coordination with the IMCOM-Europe Transportation

Branch. If the NTV is not an IFMS vehicle, the TMP will report it to the IMCOM-Europe

Transportation Branch for appropriate disposition.

(2) On turn-in or transfer of either an IFMS or remnant fleet vehicle, the TDA authorization will

be deleted.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

1-7. PERMISSIBLE OPERATING DISTANCES

HQDA prescribes that a one-way distance of 100 miles be used as a guide when establishing NTV

PODs. USAG commanders may establish a larger POD based on geographic location and the needs of

their customers.

a. USAG commanders will—

(1) Consider funding resource implications when authorizing the use of NTVs beyond the

garrison-established POD. NTV fleet funds, funds for temporary duty (TDY) trips, and funds for

permanent change of station (PCS) are allocated from separate sources. Unrestricted use of NTVs for

TDY and PCS purposes places an unresourced burden on the IMCOM-Europe fleet management budget.

(2) Establish a POD that fits the needs of their geographic area.

(3) Establish procedures for processing requests from tenant units to make trips beyond the

USAG-established POD.

b. Tenant unit commanders must conduct a risk assessment for trips beyond the USAG-established

POD. Consideration should be given to driver experience, distance, weather, and traffic conditions. This

is especially important for trips to be completed in less than 1 day.

1-8. OFFICIAL USE OF NTVs

The use of NTVs is restricted to official purposes. AR 58-1, paragraph 2-3, establishes guidance on

official use. The following guidance also applies to community programs:

a. Inprocessing, Outprocessing, and Sponsorship Programs. AR 58-1 states that NTVs may be

used for transportation to commercial and military terminals if other means of transportation are not

available or cannot meet mission requirements. To meet the European requirements of sponsorship,

retention, and quality of life, commanders may—

(1) Allow sponsors to use NTVs to pick up arriving Soldiers and civilians at commercial or

military terminals when they arrive in country. Before authorizing the use of NTVs to pick up arriving

personnel, commanders must consider the use of the Sponsorship Bus (S-bus) (f below) (or similar

Government-managed service) and determine that the use of the S-bus does not meet mission

requirements.

(2) Not authorize units to use NTVs to transport Soldiers and civilians departing on PCS from

commercial or military terminals unless they have determined that the terminals are located where no

other means of transportation is available or such transportation cannot meet mission requirements.

(3) Authorize NTV use for in- and outprocessing activities if DOD-scheduled transportation (for

example, shuttlebuses) and public transportation cannot responsively meet mission requirements.

NOTE: Commanders will not base a decision to authorize the use of an NTV on the grade or position of

the incoming Soldier or civilian, or that of the sponsor.

b. Family Readiness Groups (FRGs). FRG volunteers are authorized to use NTVs for family

readiness activities as prescribed by AE Regulation 608-2. NTVs may be used by family readiness

services when needed to transport family members to life-support facilities in emergencies and in

situations where no other means of transportation is available. Before NTVs are used for non-emergency

purposes, the USAG commander must determine that the use of the NTV is for official purposes and

that failure to provide support will have an adverse effect on Soldier morale or family readiness.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

c. Emergency Leave. When approved by the commander, AR 58-1 authorizes the use of NTVs to

transport Soldiers and family members on emergency leave to the nearest commercial transportation site

when required to arrive at the port of embarkation before the departure of the first reasonably available

flight, bus, or train.

d. PCS and TDY Travel to Airports. AR 58-1 generally prohibits the use of NTVs to support PCS

travel. However, commanders may authorize NTV transportation of Army personnel on official travel

orders to commercial or military terminals if the terminals are located where other means of

transportation are not available or cannot meet mission requirements.

e. Inadequate Commercial Transportation. AR 58-1 authorizes the use of NTVs when the

commander has determined that commercial transportation cannot meet mission requirements. This

guidance is interpreted to allow for NTV use for the reasons cited in subparagraphs a through d above.

f. S-Bus. The commercially contracted S-bus is the first option for incoming and departing personnel

in a PCS status. Its use is not mandatory for personnel with pinpoint assignment orders; however,

commanders must consider the use of the S-bus when it meets mission requirements before authorizing

the use of an NTV.

g. In-and-Around Transportation. Transportation after arrival at the military duty location should

follow the standard prescribed for community in-and-around transportation.

(1) Soldiers and civilians deployed in support of contingency operations are in a TDY status

according to DA personnel policy guidance (PPG). The applicable PPG may allow personnel to be

authorized the use of unit-assigned NTVs for transport to and from their quarters. The authority to

provide NTVs for this use is contingent on the PPG relevant to the Soldier’s deployment and the

Soldier’s orders, which must state that the Soldier is deployed in support of a contingency operation.

(2) Use of NTVs for reasons of health and comfort will be determined by the commander on a

case-by-case basis.

(a) At the commander’s discretion, Soldiers who are authorized to use NTVs for

transportation to and from quarters according to (1) above may be authorized to use an NTV for

transportation to and from the post exchange and morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) facilities.

(b) If personnel use an NTV to travel to a dining establishment, the commander may

authorize them to use additional free time for personal activities within the approved location. However,

personnel are not authorized to drive an NTV to a separate location for personal, non-health or -comfort

reasons.

commander on a memorandum for record. This memorandum must be kept with the vehicle when it is

used for these reasons.

(3) As an exception to policy, travel to attend the following after-hours or social functions may

be approved by a unit commander:

(a) Dining-ins where the program provides a training benefit.

(b) International liaison functions (functions that further host-nation relations).

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(d) Dinners with members of Congress where military issues will be discussed.

(e) Dinners with retired Army chiefs of staff where command issues will be discussed.

(f) Official dinners that are part of a conference program and include a substantive speaker or

professional discussion during a meal.

(4) Commanders may not authorize the use of NTVs for the following after-hours and social

functions:

(a) Hail-and-farewell dinners.

(b) Private or personal social functions (for example, office parties, promotion parties).

(5) Government vehicles may not be used to transport personnel or supplies needed for

conducting personal business or supporting unofficial functions.

h. Countries Other Than Germany. Modes of transportation for inbound and outbound personnel

for air terminals in Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands will be as prescribed and established by the

appropriate USAG commander according to AR 58-1, paragraphs 2-3 and 4-6. In addition to any area or

theater clearance that may be required, diplomatic or transit border clearances must be requested and

obtained for U.S. Government vehicles before they enter or leave many NATO and non-NATO

countries while traveling on official business. This applies to all Government-owned or -leased vehicles,

regardless of the license plates on the vehicle (official U.S. Army registration plate, U.S. Forces POV

plates, IFMS plates, or host-nation plates).

(1) A request for entry/transit by military ground vehicles must be completed and submitted to

the local branch movement control team (BMCT) for processing. The BMCT will process the request

through channels to obtain permission from the government of the countries that will be transited. U.S.

Forces personnel may not proceed to transit until they have received confirmation that approval has been

granted to cover their specific movement.

(2) More information about diplomatic and transit border clearances is available in DOD

4500.54-G at https://www.fcg.pentagon.mil/fcg.cfm.

(3) Whenever an IFMS vehicle is taken out of an area in which the IFMS provides service, the

using unit is responsible for the cost of recovering the vehicle in case of a breakdown or accident and

returning it to the IFMS area of operation. IFMS contracts do not cover the recovery of vehicles that

break down during transit to Italy through Austria or Switzerland.

(4) Third-party insurance is not required when traveling in NATO and most Partnership for Peace

countries. However, using units may need to purchase commercial liability insurance for travel in

countries that do not provide an exemption under diplomatic clearance or a status of forces agreement.

(5) Soldiers transiting the new German States may be required to receive clearance under the

provisions of the Treaty on the Final Settlement With Respect to Germany (commonly referred to as the

Two-Plus-Four Treaty) that cover the military aspects of German reunification. The USAREUR Liaison

Office in Berlin can provide more information (e-mail: [email protected].army.mil).

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

i. NTV Use Involving Pets. Pet transport alone is not justification to use an NTV. Pets may be

transported in an NTV when an incoming Soldier, civilian, or family is being transported as authorized

in a(1) through (3) above. When transferring a pet, the animal will be kept in an adequate transport

container. Sponsors using NTVs for pet transport will clean the vehicle after use to prevent health

problems by future users.

j. Legality of Use. Using unit commanders have final responsibility for ensuring that transportation

requirements are met as authorized for official use and for military community programs. Commanders

must also ensure compliance with the restrictions on the use of NTVs prescribed by AR 58-1, paragraph

2-4. When in doubt about the legality of NTV use, commanders should consult their local legal office

before authorizing the use.

1-9. NTV SPEED LIMITS

Excessive speed is a major contributor to NTV accidents. Commanders must ensure that operators and

senior occupants of NTVs are aware of and understand the maximum speed limits established for NTVs.

NTVs must be operated in a safe manner and according to the driving speeds in table 1-1. These speed

limits are the maximum speeds at which Government-owned or -controlled NTVs may be operated on

highways throughout Europe. Speed limits will be observed unless a lower speed limit is posted or

weather, traffic conditions, or other situations warrant a lower speed. All NTVs transiting the autobahn

must have table 1-1 displayed inside the vehicle. Adhesive decals listing the speed limits for each type

of NTV are also available (AE Miscellaneous Publications 58-1A, 58-1B, and 58-1C).

Supervisors, in coordination with the transportation officer, will determine the most cost-effective mode

of transportation for TDY and local travel. Commanders and supervisors will fund all local and long-

distance travel when they authorize personnel to use their POVs on a reimbursable basis for official

travel.

2-1. GENERAL

The policy in this chapter must be used with AR 58-1, chapter 3.

2-2. NTV PROCUREMENT

a. HQDA implemented an exception to policy in 1997 to decentralize the management of about 120

NTVs so that Operations and Maintenance, Army, funds may be used to purchase them if the purchase

cost is less than the $100,000 expense and investment threshold (Public Law 105-262, Title 8, section

8046) and purchasing is more cost-effective than leasing. Appendix C lists vehicles that are not centrally

managed by nomenclature and line item number (LIN). This list is subject to change and will be updated

as necessary. Passenger-carrying and most general-purpose NTVs were not included as noncentrally

managed vehicles, even though their acquisition costs were less than $100,000. These vehicles remain

centrally managed due to congressional interest and limits and still require the use of Other

Procurement, Army, funds to purchase them.

b. Approval must be obtained from the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch before procuring

noncentrally managed vehicles and non-IFMS vehicles (for example, Army-owned). Requests for

approval must include the following:

(1) The name of the unit that needs the vehicle and the unit mission statement.

(2) Vehicle nomenclature and LIN.

(3) The cost or estimate cost of the NTV in U.S. dollars.

(4) A brief statement justifying the need for and purpose of the vehicle.

(5) A fund-certified DA Form 3953.

(6) The TDA number and TDA paragraph that identifies where the LIN is authorized on the

TDA, and a statement that a shortage exists or an on-hand vehicle is no longer economically reparable.

2-3. NTV AUTHORIZATION

a. General. Commanders will submit requests for changes to NTV authorizations (increases,

decreases, vehicle type, and assigned location) on TDAs through the garrison’s servicing director of

resource management (DRM) to the IMCOM-Europe Resource Manager using DA Form 4610-R

according to AR 71-32. The successful processing of TDA actions does not guarantee the actual

obligation of funds and receipt of additional vehicles. Vehicle authorizations may be added to a TDA

but not filled until funding for acquisition or lease becomes available.

(1) Requests for increases in NTV authorizations must include a mission justification and a

description of the LIN being requested. Documentation with the following information is required to

determine if other NTVs in the unit could perform the mission. Failure to provide this information will

result in the TDA change request being returned to the unit:

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(a) Descriptions of all like-type vehicles in the requesting USAG.

(b) Utilization rates of all vehicles assigned to the unit for the previous 2 quarters, regardless

of LIN.

(2) The IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch will maintain a working version of the

justification checklist for TDA change requests. This checklist will be used when USAGs are processing

DA Form 4610-R documentation. A copy of the checklist must be included with all requests for

additional NTVs.

(3) USAG commanders may disapprove requests for additional NTVs when a utilization review

indicates that customer requirements can be met with the current fleet or less costly alternatives (such as

commercial transportation, short-term leasing, outsourcing, or reimbursement for voluntary use of

POVs).

b. Justification. The requesting unit or activity must provide a mission-need statement with the

TDA change request. The statement must identify the vehicle requirement, explain how the mission is

being performed, and explain the consequences if the request is not approved. If additional NTVs are

being requested, the requesting unit must provide a copy of the new mission directive, tasker, or policy

that is generating the requirement for additional NTVs. All parties to the request-and-review process

will place special emphasis on the date of any new mission and the determination of whether or not the

request is based on a self-imposed mission.

c. UTC Review. The statement of need to support recurring dispatches to individual units must

identify the UTC and all vehicles under the direct management of the UTC or accessible to the UTC

from within the unit or staff element. The intent of this requirement is to determine how well the UTC is

working to meet the mission requirement through proper planning of on-hand NTV use. Poor NTV

management practices must be identified and resolved by the USAG without forwarding TDA change

requests.

d. Deployment Requirements. Initial deployment requirements that are met with leased NTVs must

be reviewed as soon as operationally possible to convert to owned or contractor-provided NTVs when

economically feasible. Contingency-operation funds must be carefully managed to provide the required

NTV support at the lowest possible cost.

e. Utilization Rates. Vehicle utilization data from USAG TMPs must be submitted with TDA

change requests when requesting an increase in NTV authorizations. Utilization data must—

(1) Include the most recent 6 months of use.

(2) Include the total miles driven each month and the percent of utilization based on the number

of days driven compared to the number of days available.

(3) Be provided for all like-type vehicles in the fleet for which an increase is requested.

(4) Be provided for all vehicles on recurring dispatch to the requesting unit or activity, and all use

generated through the unit using the general dispatch fleet.

f. Processing. Requests for TDA changes require endorsement by the DRM at the USAG level and

review by the director of logistics (DOL). The DOL will make recommendations based on a review of

the mission need, UTC management practices, and fleet utilization rates. On completion of the review at

the USAG, the TDA change request must be forwarded to IMCOM-Europe Resource Management

Division.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

SECTION II

HIRED MOTOR VEHICLES

2-4. LEASING

a. General. Requests for leased vehicles from a commercial source other than the IFMS will be

processed as an exception to policy.

(1) A leased vehicle is an expensive alternative to the IFMS NTV program and should be used

only if assigned NTVs are not available or TMP general dispatch vehicles cannot meet the requirement.

Units should consider pooling requirements and using currently assigned vehicles from subordinate units

before submitting a lease request. The vehicle to be leased should be the least expensive model in a class

that will meet the requirement. Requests for larger vehicles will not be based on the grade of the person

who will use the vehicle, prestige, or personal convenience and will be evaluated individually.

(2) Compact sedans, compact station wagons, and carryalls are the standard types of leased

vehicles. Intermediate-size and large vehicles are not suitable for leasing. Requests for these vehicles

should be examined closely and questioned before approval.

(3) Current NTV authorizations will not be the sole reason for leasing a particular type or class of

vehicle. Authorizations are based on one type of vehicle to support many requirements, while leased

vehicles usually support one specific mission. To minimize leasing costs, the most appropriate type of

vehicle at the most cost-effective price will be used to support the temporary leasing requirement.

b. Leased NTVs in Deployed Locations. The use of leased NTVs in deployed locations should be

limited to temporary and short-term situations where a sustainment-contract TMP system is not in place

for vehicle support. Leasing NTVs for contingency locations is usually more costly than using

sustainment contract support. IFMS NTVs are part of the garrison support system and will not be

deployed to avoid using the sustainment contract TMP system or the costs of individual unit interim

leasing.

c. Short-Term Leases. A short-term lease is a lease for 60 days or less. Direct-report garrison

commanders are authorized to approve short-term leases. Short-term leases may be used to meet

temporary requirements for more vehicles and do not require TDA authorization. Short-term leases will

not be renewed. If a vehicle is needed for more than 60 days, justification for a long-term lease must be

submitted. Leases will be used to meet the requirements of short-term missions only if an IFMS vehicle

cannot be provided for the mission.

d. Long-Term Leases.

(1) A long-term lease is for more than 60 days but less than 1 year. Only HQ IMCOM-Europe

(IMEU-LOD-T) may approve long-term leases. Long-term leases require TDA authorization for the

vehicle after the first year of use. If a new mission requires a permanent vehicle, DA Form 4610-R must

be submitted following the procedures in paragraph 2-3. Leases will be used to meet the requirements of

long-term missions only until an IFMS vehicle can be provided for the mission.

(2) USAGs will report long-term leased vehicles (inventory-control reporting) in the same

manner that Army-owned NTVs are reported. TMPs will assign each leased vehicle a LIN, complete the

NTV change-of-inventory status form for long-term leased vehicles using the current TMP information

management system, and send the form to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch. The IMCOM-

Europe Transportation Branch will add the vehicles to the master database as part of the applicable TMP

fleet.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(3) Long-term leased vehicles will be dispatched and controlled for accountability of fuel and

mileage. Leased-vehicle information is required by HQDA and will be included in the submission of

mandatory HQDA reports.

2-5. LEASE REQUEST AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES

a. Information Required for Lease Requests. Requesting units must provide a memorandum

justifying the lease requirement with the following information:

(1) The name of the unit that needs the vehicles and the unit mission statement.

(2) A statement of whether the lease is for a USAREUR or non-USAREUR unit.

(3) The type and number of vehicles to be leased.

(4) Lease period.

(5) Cost or estimated cost of the lease in U.S. dollars.

(6) Brief statement justifying the need for and purpose of the lease.

(7) Brief statement as to the number of IFMS vehicles currently authorized and in use by the unit

and why the current vehicle support is not adequate.

(8) The previous lease-control number, if requesting a lease renewal.

(9) A fund-certified DA Form 3953.

b. Submitting Requests. Units will send requests through their supporting TMP. The TMP will

assess local garrison NTV assets and determine if the need can be met before the lease request is

submitted to the direct-report garrison. The direct-report garrison must certify the indirect-report

garrison statement that the mission cannot be met with general dispatch or other IFMS vehicles. Long-

term lease requests must be—

(1) Signed by the direct-report garrison commander, executive officer, or chief of staff.

(2) Sent through garrison command channels to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch.

Inaccurate and incomplete requests will be returned to the direct-report garrison for further action.

c. Approving Leases.

(1) Short-Term Leases.

(a) Direct-report garrison commanders, deputy commanders, executive officers, and chiefs of

staff may approve short-term leases and sign lease approvals for USAREUR units and IMCOM-Europe

missions. Approvals of short-term leases for non-USAREUR units may be signed by the garrison DOL

or S4 if authorized by the direct-report garrison commander.

(b) Short-term-lease approvals will include a reminder to users that all restrictions on the

official use of Army-owned vehicles apply to Army-leased vehicles. Particular emphasis must be placed

on domicile-to-duty travel restrictions and on the official use of leased vehicles during non-duty hours.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

control number without complete documentation if the lease is for less than 10 days and the cost is less

than $2,500. Tenant unit commanders must receive a statement of nonavailability from the TMP before

initiating the lease. Within 3 workdays the tenant unit must meet all normal documentation requirements

for standard short-term leases.

(2) Long-Term Leases. Long-term leases for USAREUR and non-USAREUR units require the

signature of the Chief, IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch.

d. Control Numbers. Direct-report garrisons will assign local control numbers for each short-term

lease approval and maintain an appropriate lease-control-log system. Control numbers should be

standardized and include at least the following fields: garrison, fiscal year, month, and lease number.

Standardized control numbers are required for subsequent compilation and evaluation by the IMCOM-

Europe Transportation Branch.

2-6. MAINTAINING INFORMATION ON SHORT-TERM LEASES

Direct-report garrisons will maintain information on short-term leases for each month using the format

shown in figure 2-1. Information will be included only on leases that began, expired, or were terminated

during the month.

SECTION III

GOVERNMENT PURCHASE CARD

2-7. OVERVIEW

The Government purchase card (GPC) may be used to purchase supplies and services when the total cost

is under the micropurchase threshold established by Congress or as limited by HQDA or HQ IMCOM-

Europe. TMPs are not authorized to exceed the value for a purchase of leased services unless the

congressionally imposed limit is increased. All GPC purchases are limited to the restrictions placed on

the cardholder.

2-8. USE OF GPC FOR NTV LEASES

a. Using GPCs to lease NTVs will not be authorized unless a lease-control number has been

obtained. NTV lease-approval requirements in paragraphs 2-4 through 2-6 apply to leases obtained using

a GPC.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

b. Units are not required to submit DA Form 3953 when requesting short-term leases using GPCs.

All other justification and documentation requirements, however, apply to submitting the lease-

justification memorandum (para 2-5a).

c. A statement addressing the intended use of a GPC must be included in the justification

memorandum. This statement must include the GPC number, the name and grade of the individual

authorized to use the card, and the cardholder’s unit telephone number.

SECTION IV

IFMS VEHICLES

2-9. OVERVIEW

a. The IFMS is the primary provider of NTV services throughout IMCOM-Europe. IFMS vehicles

are considered Army assets and will be accounted for according to AR 710-2.

b. Garrisons will coordinate with their servicing IFMS fleet center for NTV support. Requests for

IFMS vehicles will not exceed the number or types of vehicles authorized on the garrison TDA,

regardless of whether or not the cost of IFMS vehicles is reimbursable. Requests for additional vehicles

that exceed the TDA ceiling will be submitted according to the procedures in paragraph 2-3. Particular

attention must be given to the requirement for garrisons to develop a capitalization plan to support added

authorizations and costs.

c. NTVs acquired through the IFMS NTV program will not exceed the size and configuration

specifications of the authorized LIN for a particular class of vehicles.

d. Garrisons will project the funding of IFMS vehicles in direct-report garrison annual budget

submissions based on TDA authorizations, modification costs, accident-repair costs, and other operating

expenses associated with NTV operations.

2-10. GUIDANCE

The policy and procedures for operating IFMS vehicles are governed by the following:

a. Federal Property Management Regulations.

b. Statutory guidance.

c. Applicable DOD and DA publications.

d. Memorandums of understanding and interservice agreements between HQ IMCOM-Europe and

the IFMS Program Office.

e. IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch messages pertaining to IFMS vehicles.

f. SOPs developed by individual garrisons.

g. IFMS business rules as sanctioned by higher headquarters.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

2-11. IFMS VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

a. Painting, marking, and modifying IFMS NTVs are prohibited without the written approval of the

servicing IFMS fleet center as endorsed by the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch. If approved,

modifications will be at the expense of the requesting unit. The user is responsible for the modification

procurement cost and the cost of labor for installation. When the vehicle is no longer needed or replaced,

the user is responsible for the cost of returning the vehicle to its original condition. The servicing IFMS

fleet center must be informed of all proposed modifications, regardless of the level or size. The proposed

modification will not be made until written approval is received from the IFMS fleet center.

b. Units will submit requests for modification to the USAG DOL for processing. The USAG will

submit requests to modify IFMS vehicles to the supporting IFMS fleet center for approval. Approval

memorandums must include a complete description of the proposed work and a statement that the

requesting unit will pay for modifying and restoring the NTV. Once the IFMS fleet center has approved

the modification, the USAG DOL will submit the complete package to the IMCOM-Europe

Transportation Branch for final approval.

c. The first choice for any modification is a manufacturer-approved modification package.

Modifications that cannot be done using a manufacturer-approved modification package will be

approved only as a last resort to meet critical operational needs. The USAG will contact the IFMS fleet

center for assistance in identifying a manufacturer-approved modification package that meets the unit

requirement. Manufacturer-approved modification packages include Mobile Office packages, Global

Positioning Systems (GPSs), tinted windows, and the installation of hitches, radios, and sirens.

d. Authorization for the installation of Mobile Office packages for commanders is limited. These

options are expensive and will not be granted to everyone.

(1) Brigade and equivalent commanders and above will receive priority for approval and

installation. USAG commanders, HQ USAREUR/7A staff principals, corps staff principals, and

battalion commanders may also request authorization to install command packages to meet operational

requirements.

(2) If approved, modification requests for options such as GPSs, tinted windows, and Mobile

Office packages must be funded by the requester.

(3) Once the manufacturer order has been placed for these options, the user must pay and accept

the vehicle as desired. The garrison will not bear the cost of modification if the requester decides that the

requirement no longer exists after the vehicle is ready and before subsequent delivery.

e. All vehicle modifications will be made according to host-nation safety standards (for example,

Technischer Überwachungsverein (TÜV) (Technical Control Association) standards in Germany). A

vehicle modification beyond a standard manufacturer-approved modification is an example of an

alteration that requires TÜV certification. Certifications must be included in modification requests.

f. Modifications will not exempt vehicles from IFMS requirements for vehicle rotations according to

the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 41, volume 2, chapter 101-39.304.

g. The cost of modifications (material and labor) will not be more than 10 percent of the original

purchase price of the vehicle.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

h. The user is responsible for the cost of acquisition, installation, maintenance, and removal of any

modification. This cost includes restoring the vehicle to its original condition. Modified IFMS NTVs

must be restored to their original condition before being returned to the IFMS fleet center. The IFMS

fleet center may approve exceptions if keeping the modification will enhance the resale value of the

vehicle.

i. Panel vans for directorates of public works (DPWs) must be requested with the appropriate inserts

(for example, carpentry, electrical, plumbing) at the time of procurement. After-market procurements for

DPW inserts are not authorized.

2-12. SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES

a. Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) will not be used exclusively as passenger-carrying vehicles when

sedans, vans, carryalls, or POVs on a reimbursable basis would meet mission requirements. Both the

Secretary of the Army travel and fuel-conservation policy limit the assignment of SUVs to the most-

essential transportation requirements for their specific capability. Additionally, HQ IMCOM guidance

limits SUV assignment where justified by mission requirements to low-end SUVs with less than 5,000

lbs GVW. High-end SUVs with 5,000 lbs GVW or more require approval by the Director, IMCOM-

Europe.

b. SUVs may be authorized for police, fire, and range support and other off-road duties requiring

physical capabilities exceeding those of a two-wheel-drive sedan or truck. Simply working in these

subject areas does not automatically grant the use or requirement of an SUV. SUV costs are significantly

higher and require close examination of the customer’s proposed operational requirements. SUVs will

not be authorized when other less costly vehicles, such as 4-by-4 pickup trucks, can meet mission

requirements. For example, fire department SUVs not used directly for emergency response and

operated primarily by fire inspectors should be replaced with smaller, sedan-type vehicles.

c. To request use of an SUV based on operational requirements, units and agencies must provide a

written justification through their supporting garrison DOL. The DOL will make recommendations

based on a review of the mission need, UTC management practices, and fleet utilization rates. The

direct-report DOL will forward the request to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch.

d. The IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch will review the justification to ensure it meets

regulatory standards for an exception to policy. The justification must include a clear explanation as to

how the vehicle affects the unit’s mission and how the mission might fail if an SUV is not provided. It

should also include an estimate of the number of days it will be used annually, annual mileage, and

intended destinations. Once the justification is validated, it will be forwarded to the IMCOM-Europe

Command Group for final decision.

e. The IMCOM-Europe senior leadership is the final decision-making authority for exceptions to this

policy. Once the decision is made, it will be forwarded to the requesting unit in a memorandum signed

by the Director, IMCOM-Europe. Tenants must fund any IFMS-leased mission vehicles (SUVs) that are

not authorized on a garrison TDA.

2-13. REIMBURSEMENT FOR DAMAGE TO NTVs

a. USAREUR units, activities, and staff elements will reimburse IMCOM-Europe for the loss of or

billable damage to IFMS-leased NTVs when those vehicles are used for DOD missions, functions,

activities, or operations.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(1) The using unit, activity, or staff element responsible for the NTV at the time of the accident

or incident will bear full financial responsibility for the loss of or damage to the IFMS-leased vehicle.

(2) The unit, activity, or staff element will be billed for the total cost of damages beyond fair

wear and tear, including but not limited to accident damage, windshield damage, damage related to

neglect or abuse, use of the wrong designated fuel type, and towing fees from an accident scene to a

repair shop.

(3) When an NTV is damaged beyond repair, the unit, activity, or staff element will be charged

the fair market value of the vehicle. The salvageable value will be reimbursed to the unit after a

salvageable sale.

(4) The using unit, activity, or staff element will not be held responsible for damages caused

by—

(a) A negligent or willful act of a party other than the unit, activity, or staff element (or an

employee of that unit, activity, or staff element) if the identity of the party can be reasonably established.

For example, damage caused to an NTV when a driver swerves to avoid an animal on the road is the

responsibility of the using unit; verifiable damage to an NTV caused by a third party, such as a non-

DOD-employed German national, would not be the unit’s responsibility.

(b) Mechanical failure of the vehicle if the using unit, activity, or staff element (or an

employee) was not negligent. Proof of mechanical failure must be provided.

b. The following procedures will be followed when a vehicle is lost or damaged:

(1) The using unit, activity, or staff element must send DD Form 448 to the servicing USAG

within 30 workdays after receiving a bill from the IFMS. The applicable DOL will ensure that the using

unit, activity, or staff element receives the IFMS bill within 5 workdays after receiving it from the fleet

management billing office.

(2) If the unit, activity, or staff element does not send DD Form 448 within 30 days, the servicing

TMP will send a memorandum to the head of the unit, activity, or staff element stating that the unit,

activity, or staff element is not complying with AR 58-1 and Army in Europe policy. The memorandum

will explain the following consequences of noncompliance:

(a) If DD Form 448 is not sent within 10 workdays after being informed in writing by the

servicing TMP, the TMP will refuse to dispatch any recurring-dispatch vehicles.

(b) If DD Form 448 is not sent within 20 workdays after being informed in writing by the

servicing TMP, the TMP will require all IFMS-leased vehicles to be returned to the TMP until the DD

Form 448 is received.

submitted, the garrison must ensure procedures are in place to return the DD Form 448.

(3) This guidance does not relieve the commander of any unit or activity from completing

investigations of financial liability in accordance with AR 735-5.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

2-14. FINANCIAL LIABILITY INVESTIGATIONS FOR DAMAGED OR MISSING NTVs

a. Financial liability investigations for NTV damage will be processed according to AR 735-5.

b. Garrison commanders that have Army-owned or -leased vehicles on their unit TDA will ensure

DD Form 200 is initiated within the timelines imposed by AR 735-5. The following must be done before

the financial liability investigation is forwarded to the appointing authority:

(1) Damaged or destroyed items must be identified using the Army part of the Federal Logistics

Record (FEDLOG) or corresponding IFMS catalog data.

(2) The date and circumstances of the accident must be determined.

(3) An investigation of the property loss must be initiated using DD Form 200.

(4) The narrative part of DD Form 200 must be completed (blocks 1 through 9 and 11; block 10

will be completed by the investigating chain of command).

(5) A document/voucher number must be assigned to the DD Form 200.

(6) The DD Form 200 must be sent to the appointing authority.

c. After sending DD Form 200 to the appointing authority, the garrison will track the progress of the

investigation to ensure it is accomplished within required timelines.

d. According to AR 735-5, paragraph 13-5, the chain of command of the individual responsible for

the property at the time of the incident (the person who dispatched or was driving the vehicle) will

process financial liability investigations. This chain of command will appoint an investigating officer

and process the financial liability investigation.

(1) Appointing authorities will ensure investigations are completed within the timelines in AR

735-5.

(2) When requested, tenant units responsible for processing investigations will inform the

garrison of the investigation’s progress.

(3) Approving authorities will forward a finalized copy of the investigation to the garrison

property book officer for addition to property book records.

e. Formalized support agreements that specifically identify other procedures for processing financial

liability between garrisons and tenant units will take precedence over this guidance.

f. Units that fail to follow this guidance may lose their recurring-dispatch privileges at the garrison

commander’s discretion.

2-15. IFMS BILL PAYMENT

a. Funds for monthly IFMS bills are consolidated at direct-report garrison level. Garrisons will

ensure IFMS billing office address codes (BOACs) are reduced to the minimum needed to manage the

fleet. This will ensure that the minimum number of bills are generated and ease the management

workload associated with payment and audit.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

b. IFMS bills must be paid promptly to meet IFMS requirements in the continental United States and

to avoid late payments in the IFMS system. IFMS bills will be sent directly to the direct-report garrison

for prompt payment. Garrisons will use the Army-authorized “pay and chase” system to ensure

immediate payment to the IFMS, with subsequent audit and bill corrections. Monthly IFMS bills will be

sent immediately to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service - Europe for payment without first

being certified.

c. Errors and corrections noted in IFMS bills will be addressed to the supporting IFMS fleet center

for resolution.

d. Problems between the supporting fleet center and the garrison that cannot be solved will be sent to

the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch for further action.

CHAPTER 3

TRANSPORTATION BETWEEN DOMICILE AND PLACE OF DUTY

3-1. AUTHORITY

DOD 4500.36-R and AR 58-1 chapter 4, prescribe the authority for transportation between domicile and

place of duty.

3-2. AUTHORIZED TRANSPORTATION

AR 58-1 prescribes authorized transportation and documentation requirements. Requests and

documentation on authorized transportation must be submitted to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation

Branch (HQ IMCOM-Europe (IMEU-LOD-T), Unit 29353, Box 200, APO AE 09014-0200) for review

before submission to HQDA.

3-3. TRANSPORTATION OF OFFICIAL VISITORS

Official non-DOD persons invited to take part in DA functions may be provided transportation between

home or transient sites and the location of the visit.

CHAPTER 4

BUS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

4-1. PURPOSE

This chapter provides information on documenting bus-transportation requirements. Bus services may

be provided with either Army NTVs (owned or leased) or by contracted assets. Bus service involves

transportation requiring a passenger vehicle that holds 10 or more passengers.

4-2. GROUP-TRANSPORTATION BUS SERVICE

Group transportation is a fare-required, personal-business bus service established for domicile-to-duty

travel by military and civilian Government employees residing on or off post. The IMCOM-Europe

Transportation Branch may approve requests for group transportation that are based on the criteria and

submission requirements in AR 58-1, paragraph 5-3.

a. Garrisons requesting group-transportation services must submit requests with supporting

documentation through garrison command channels to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch for

decision (HQ IMCOM-Europe (IMEU-LOD), Unit 29353, Box 200, APO AE 09014-0200). Requests

require the endorsement of the direct-report garrison commander.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

b. According to AR 58-1, paragraph 5-3c(7), supporting documentation must include copies of

written requests for bus service from public and private mass-transit operators servicing the local area.

The request must include written responses from commercial host-nation transportation-system

operators stating that the service cannot be provided within their existing or planned transportation

networks.

4-3. SHUTTLEBUS SERVICE

Scheduled shuttlebus service is limited to official-business travel between offices and worksites only

during normal duty hours, and to transport enlisted personnel residing in troop billets to and from their

place of duty. Authorized family members may ride the shuttlebus on a space-available basis.

a. Shuttlebus service will be provided according to AR 58-1, paragraphs 5-1 and 5-2. The IMCOM-

Europe Transportation Branch will issue guidance and maintain USAG certifications that shuttlebus

services are being provided according to the criteria in these paragraphs. Total routing hours that are

fully certified and approved by the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch will form the basis for bus-

driver staffing according to the transportation quality-of-life standard or the IMCOM-Europe Resource

Management Division manpower staffing template.

b. Copies of shuttlebus-service requests will be sent through command channels to the IMCOM-

Europe Transportation Branch. Requests will identify stops by building number and location name (for

example, building 4112, Equipment Support Center).

4-4. MASS TRANSIT

a. AR 58-1, paragraph 5-4, states the Secretary of the Army has authorized the use of mass-transit

vehicles on any military installation or sub-installation when the use of these vehicles is determined to

be efficient, practical, and in the best interests of the United States. The term sub-installation includes

military housing areas, Army-leased family housing areas, and mission-oriented military facilities.

Scheduled activity bus service routes will not include on-post housing, recreational, or shopping areas

unless such areas cannot be reasonably avoided in serving the authorized locations.

b. In authorizing the establishment of mass-transit systems, the garrison commander must determine

that—

(1) All requirements of AR 58-1, paragraph 5-4, are met.

(2) The number of personnel using this service, work schedules, traffic studies, and the potential

for saving energy and reducing air pollution are considered.

(3) A reasonable effort has been made to have private operators provide the necessary mass

transportation, but the effort was unsuccessful.

(4) The service to be provided will make proper use of transportation facilities and will supply

the most-efficient transportation to the personnel concerned.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

4-5. BUSROUTE APPROVAL

a. The intent of garrison bus service is to meet the needs of unaccompanied garrison Soldiers. First

and foremost, garrison busroutes should be designed to meet those needs. In addition, garrisons will

implement bus services to support established quality-of-life standards. Meeting quality-of-life standards

with approved busroutes is a basis for determining adequate driver staffing. Direct-report garrisons will

evaluate performance efficiencies and the effectiveness of bus services for scheduled activities, isolated

sites, and mass transit. The baseline standard for bus services includes—

(1) Accessibility. Scheduled transportation will be centrally located within a 15-minute walking

distance of passenger start and stop points. Necessary transfers will require no more than a 15-minute

wait. Host-nation public transportation will be used where possible and when it requires no more than

one transfer and is not more than 30 minutes longer than the direct Army bus.

(2) Availability. Transportation will be provided—

(a) Between offices and worksites for official travel.

(b) To enlisted Soldiers traveling between troop billets, places of duty, and dining facilities if

the commander determines that the travel is incident to the performance of duty.

employed, or residing in isolated areas.

4-6. TRANSPORTATION TO MEDICAL FACILITIES

a. Military personnel and their family members are authorized Government-transportation support

for movement to hospitals for outpatient treatment. This transportation is a specialized form of

scheduled-activity bus service that is local in nature.

b. DA civilian employees may be authorized Government-transportation support for movement to

hospitals for outpatient treatment only when so ordered by garrison officials for work-related injuries,

illnesses, or required physical examinations. DA civilian employees and their family members may

travel when space is available on buses servicing military medical facilities.

4-7. EMERGENCY BUS SERVICE

AR 58-1, paragraph 5-6, provides criteria for using emergency bus service. Requests for approval of

emergency bus service will be submitted to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch according to AR

58-1, paragraph 5-3e.

4-8. MORALE, WELFARE, AND RECREATION BUS SERVICE

MWR bus service is appropriated-fund bus support for authorized MWR programs and activities that are

defined as authorized to receive support under the provisions of AR 215-1. This service may be

provided when the USAG commander determines that failure to provide the service would have an

adverse effect on morale.

a. MWR bus service will not be provided at the expense of mission needs. MWR-support needs do

not justify requirements for additional vehicles. Buses (10-passenger or larger passenger-carrying

vehicles) will not be acquired with appropriated funds if justified either partially or wholly for group-

travel to support of MWR activities.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

b. Bus support for MWR activities must be provided according to AR 58-1, paragraphs 2-3e and 5-5;

and AR 215-1 (primarily chap 4 and app C).

c. TMP support of MWR youth sports activities is authorized if the commander determines that

failure to provide the service would have an adverse effect on the morale of Soldiers and DOD civilians

and providing this support would not adversely affect the mission. One example of this type of support

is providing bus transportation for youth sports teams to take part in tournaments in other communities.

This bus service may be provided on a nonreimbursable basis for transportation of teams composed of

personnel who are officially representing the installation in scheduled competitive events.

d. Under the provisions of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, the Army will generally be held

liable for civil damages caused by the ordinarily negligent acts of its agent, the driver, or other employee

who causes or contributes to an accident. If a U.S. or local national employee is acting within the scope

of his or her employment, liability for his or her acts will be covered by the Army. However, employees

who commit acts of gross negligence or reckless or wrongful misconduct and thereby cause injuries or

property damage will not be considered as acting within the scope of their employment and will be held

individually liable.

CHAPTER 5

IDENTIFICATION AND MARKING OF ARMY-OWNED NONTACTICAL VEHICLES

5-1. GENERAL

a. The color distinctions for the Army-owned remnant (non-IFMS) fleet are as follows:

(1) Emergency Vehicles. These vehicles will be painted in accordance with applicable

regulations.

(2) Roadway Service Vehicles Used To Conduct Missions on Roadways. These vehicles will

remain the color they were painted by the manufacturer or as required by the IMCOM-Europe Engineer

(Public Works) Division.

(3) Special-Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). SPVs will remain the color they were painted by the

manufacturer or as required by the IMCOM-Europe Engineer (Public Works) Division.

b. There is no requirement to have any particular color coordination between a tractor and the trailer

being towed.

c. IFMS vehicles are exempt from painting, identification, and marking requirements specified in

this chapter.

5-2. IDENTIFICATION AND MARKINGS

Vehicles procured or owned by the U.S. Army will be identified according to Military Handbook 1223.

a. Generally, vehicle license plates will include only the U.S. Army registration number and U.S.

Army. (AR 58-1, figure 9-1, provides an illustration.) Installation and activity markings are not required.

If markings are used, they will include the abbreviated garrison name and a unique bumper number. In

Italy, NTVs use Allied Forces Italy (AFI) official plates of the city or region where the NTV is

stationed. Exceptions may be granted for force-protection requirements to install local civilian cover

plates instead of official plates. U.S. Army- or IFMS-assigned registration number license plates

removed from vehicles in order to use cover plates must be accounted for and remounted when the cover

plates are no longer necessary.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

b. The elimination of the requirement for the U.S. Army remnant fleet to have unique installation

and activity markings does not authorize vehicles to be repainted or remarked. If repairs require a

vehicle to be repainted or remarked, unique paint and markings may be changed if it is cost effective.

5-3. REGISTRATION

All NTVs procured for the Army will be assigned U.S. Army registration numbers according to DA

Pamphlet 750-8 and will be accounted for according to AR 710-2.

5-4. LOST, STOLEN, OR DAMAGED LICENSE PLATES

In all cases, license plates will conform to the standards prescribed by AR 58-1, paragraph 9-6.

a. Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Plates. If license plates are lost, stolen, or damaged, USAG

commanders or their appointed POCs will report the circumstances to the military police as soon as

possible. Commanders or their appointed POCs will notify the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch

by telephone (DSN 370-7407/8865 or civ 06221-57-7407/8865) that a replacement license plate will be

manufactured by the garrison and follow up with written confirmation to the IMCOM-Europe

Transportation Branch.

b. Damaged Plates. Commanders will report damaged license plates to the motor pool that

dispatched the vehicle. Replacement plates will be manufactured or procured locally at the motor pool’s

expense. The supporting IFMS fleet center will issue replacement plates for IFMS vehicles.

5-5. LICENSE PLATES FOR NEWLY ACQUIRED NTVs

a. The IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch will coordinate the issue of Logistics Support

Activity (LOGSA) registration numbers for newly acquired Army-owned vehicles. USAGs are

responsible for manufacturing plates for these vehicles using the LOGSA registration number as the

plate number. All plates that are no longer applicable to a corresponding NTV will be destroyed. A

memorandum for record noting the date of destruction and the plate number will be kept on file by the

USAG. USAG representatives will send a copy of the memorandum to the IMCOM-Europe

Transportation Branch.

b. The regional IFMS fleet center will issue license plates for IFMS vehicles.

c. License plates for IFMS vehicles will not be converted to host-nation plates or cover plates

without prior approval of the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch.

CHAPTER 6

INVENTORY REPORTING

6-1. GENERAL

This chapter applies to inventory-reporting procedures for Army-owned NTVs and IFMS vehicles. This

chapter will be used with AR 710-3, paragraph 5-2; and DA Pamphlet 750-8. If the information in this

chapter conflicts with DA Pamphlet 750-8 concerning Army-owned NTVs, this chapter will take

precedence.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

6-2. REMNANT VEHICLES

a. When a change in the Army-owned NTV fleet (gain or loss of an NTV) has occurred, the TMP

will enter the appropriate data using existing TMP software. Additionally, TMPs will ensure on-hand

inventory data in the web-based 1577 requirements system is adjusted as required for reportable

vehicles.

b. Commanders must have IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch approval before transferring an

Army-owned NTV between different TDA property books. These actions must be reported by

submitting a DA Form 2408-9 indicating the transfer.

c. TMPs will use DA Form 2408-9 to obtain registration numbers and license plates for Army-owned

NTVs. The form must be sent to the IMCOM-Europe Transportation Branch for processing.

CHAPTER 7

NONTACTICAL SECURITY VEHICLES

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

7-1. PURPOSE

This section prescribes policy, responsibilities, and procedures for the acquisition, assignment,

operation, maintenance, and disposal of NTVs used for security purposes.

7-2. APPLICABILITY

This section applies to—

a. U.S. Army units in the European region that operate Army-owned or -leased security vehicles.

b. Security vehicles owned by the U.S. Army and assigned to combined or unified commands or

agencies.

7-3. POLICY

a. The Nontactical Security Vehicle (NTSV) Program is designed to increase transportation security

for high-risk personnel (HRP). NTSVs provide added protection and a lower profile for transporting

HRP and are an important part of the Personal Security Program. NTSVs will be used in an area-support

concept to provide the greatest flexibility in protecting HRP. NTSV assignments will be based on threat

and vulnerability assessments for officials who are potential targets for terrorists and criminals. Use of

NTVs for personal prestige, convenience, and other unofficial purposes is prohibited.

(1) Category A NTSVs (HAVs) are used to provide increased security for HRP (including those

assigned to NATO).

(a) HAVs are mission-related vehicles that, with certain exceptions, will be distributed

geographically to protect assigned and visiting HRP. While HAVs will be routinely used by one high-

risk individual in a geographic area, this does not negate the area-support concept policy.

(b) HAVs may frequently be tasked to support HRP visiting Europe.

AE Reg 58-1 ● 25 Apr 07

(2) Category B NTSVs (SEVs) are passenger-carrying NTVs used to support protective-service

operations. SEVs are normally operated by qualified protective-service agents; however, military police

may use these vehicles to support protective-service operations.

b. Commanders should use NTSVs assigned to their commands to support HRP. If HRP require

support and the command is unable to temporarily divert an NTSV to provide this support, the

commander may request NTSV support from the Office of the Provost Marshal (OPM), HQ

USAREUR/7A ((AEAPM-O-SO), Unit 29931, APO AE 09086-9931; or DSN 381-7338).
