This is an Use of Army Non-Tactical Vehicles (NTVs) and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) Information Paper. Its purpose is to explain the legal restrictions on the use of Army NTVs and SUVs. It covers the following discussion:
- The use of Army NTVs, defined as all sedans, station wagons, vans, and buses, is restricted to official purposes only.
- The use of Army SUVs, defined as a relatively new class of vehicle with four-wheel drive and off-road capability, is restricted to official purposes only, closely monitored, and authorized for only limited situations as outlined herein. Official purposes do not include transportation to private social functions or for personal errands or side trips.
- Military members who willfully use or authorize the use of a NTV or SUV for a non-official purpose may be disciplined under the UCMJ. DOD civilian personnel who willfully use or authorize the use of a NTV or SUV for a non-official purpose can be subject to disciplinary actions as circumstances warrant. The Garrison Commander is responsible to monitor and correct abuse of this policy. Prudent use of government resources is the responsibility of all Army employees.
