This best ensures maximum use of the centralized trained and certified personnel and equipment pools and increased proficiency of operators while minimizing additional duties and training requirements on other functional communities. - Ground Transportation will partner with Fleet Management and Analysis in developing installation support efforts (shuttles, taxi, etc.) that minimize use of unit assigned vehicles in favor of trained Ground Transportation personnel and vehicle support. (T-0).

Temporary Duty Support:

- IAW DoDM 4500.36, the temporary duty status of an individual does not necessarily justify the use of a vehicle. Use of vehicles will always be predicated on need, distance involved, and other conditions that justify their use. When adequate DoD, public, or commercial transportation system (taxi, shuttle, peer to peer ride sharing, etc.) is available and cost effective, the use of a GMV is prohibited. (T-0). - Additional guidance for the use of vehicles, to include commercial rental vehicles, while on temporary duty is found in Joint Travel Regulation Chapters 2 and 3, DoDM 4500.36- Enclosure 5, and AFMAN 24-306. - Members traveling in permissive temporary duty status are not authorized dedicated appropriated funded GMV transportation support.

If no reputable establishments are located within the five mile proximity, the LRS commander may establish a local reasonable proximity that exceeds the standard distance. The LRS commander must inform AFIMSC within 30 days of establishing a farther proximity in accordance with AFI 33-360, 1.9.3.1. - GMVs will not be taken to adult-oriented/themed establishments.
