limited
by the Navy.
For example, under JFTR, paragraph
U5310-B, an E-6

dependents
is entitled
to ship or store 11,000
pounds
of HHG.
If the member
was transferred

pounds of HHG could be shipped to the new location.
However,
if the member was transferred
to a location
outside CONUS which is weight restricted

a shipment
of HHG,
a member
is also entitled
to
temporary
storage, unless prohibited
under the JFTR.
This storage may be authorized
at the point of origin, in

or any combination of these. The
purpose is to provide temporary storage of HHG until
a
member arranges for a new permanent residence.

DISLOCATION
ALLOWANCE
(DLA)
A discussion
of DLA can be found in chapter
8 of
this TRAMAN.
DLA is briefly
discussed here because
it pertains to information
contained in this chapter.
The purpose
of DLA is to partially
reimburse
a
member, with or without
dependents, for the expenses
incurred
in relocating
the household
upon a PCS or
incident
to an evacuation
when
quarters
are not
assigned. The amount payable as a DLA is determined
by .the members dependency status and the rate of the
BAQ prescribed for the members grade.
CON-US TEMPORARY
LODGING
EXPENSE
Temporary
lodging
expense
(TLE)
was
also
discussed in chapter 8 of this TRAMAN.
It is discussed
here because this chapter
deals with
allowances
and
TLE is an allowance that certain members are entitled
to receive in connection with PCS orders.
TLE is paid in CONUS under the JFTR, Volume 1,
chapter 5, part H. TLE is intended to partially
offset the
cost of occupying temporary

to a PCS
move.
Refer to the JFTR, Volume 1, chapter five, part H,
and MILPERSMAN,
Article
2640400, for additional
