pet-related PCS expenses for OCONUS moves maybe be increased from 2000.00
USD up to 4000.00 USD, via the Secretarial Process and approved by OPNAV
N130C.

duty station (PDS) when Patriot Express capacity and regularly scheduled
commercial airline services are not available for pets when a Service Member
departs a PDS listed in JTR Supplement AP-PQ-02, https:(double
slash)www.travel.dod.mil.

non-availability of transportation listed in paragraph 4 may submit request
for additional reimbursement above 2000.00 USD to OPNAV N130C via e-mail at
