Under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, a
member of a uniformed service whose permanent station is outside
the United States may be allowed transportation in kind for any
minor dependent (or reimbursement therefor), or a monetary
allowance in place of such transportation in kind, to a school
operated by the Department of Defense under the Defense Dependents'
Education Act of 1978 (20 U.S.C. 921 et seq.) for dependents in an
overseas area which is operated, and which such dependent attends,
on a 5-day-a-week dormitory basis or on a 7-day-a-week dormitory
basis. In the case of a dependent attending a school on a 5-day-a-
week dormitory basis, the transportation in kind or allowance
authorized by this section shall be for weekly trips to and from
such school, and in the case of a dependent attending a school on a
7-day-a-week dormitory basis, such transportation in kind or
allowances shall be for not less than three trips to and from such
school during the school year.
