§ 9622. Rations: commissioned officers in field

Commissioned officers of the Air Force and commissioned officers of the Space Force serving in the field may buy rations for their own use, on credit. Amounts due for these purchases shall be reported monthly to the Secretary of the Air Force.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 580; Pub. L. 116–283, div. A, title IX, § 923(e)(10), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 3817.)

The words “at cost prices” are omitted to reflect Title IV of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (63 Stat. 585), which authorized the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations governing the use and sale of certain inventories at cost, including applicable administrative expenses. (See opinion of the Assistant General Counsel (Fiscal Matters) of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, January 4, 1955.)
