§7045. Officers of the other armed forces; enlisted members: admission

(a)(1) The Secretary of the Navy may permit officers of the Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard to receive instruction at the Naval Postgraduate School. The numbers and grades of such officers shall be as agreed upon by the Secretary of the Navy with the Secretaries of the Army, Air Force, and Transportation, respectively.

(2) The Secretary may permit an enlisted member of the armed forces who is assigned to the Naval Postgraduate School or to a nearby command to receive instruction at the Naval Postgraduate School. Admission of enlisted members for instruction under this paragraph shall be on a space-available basis.

(b) The Department of the Army, the Department of the Air Force, and the Department of Transportation shall bear the cost of the instruction received by officers detailed for that instruction by the Secretaries of the Army, Air Force, and Transportation, respectively. In the case of an enlisted member permitted to receive instruction at the Postgraduate School, the Secretary of the Navy shall charge that member only for such costs and fees as the Secretary considers appropriate (taking into consideration the admission of enlisted members on a space-available basis).

(c) While receiving instruction at the Postgraduate School, members of the Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard are subject to such regulations, as determined appropriate by the Secretary of the Navy, as apply to students who are members of the naval service.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 437 ; Pub. L. 96–513, title V, §513(23), Dec. 12, 1980, 94 Stat. 2932 ; Pub. L. 105–85, div. A, title V, §551(a), (b)(1), Nov. 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1747 ; Pub. L. 105–261, div. A, title X, §1069(a)(6), Oct. 17, 1998, 112 Stat. 2136 .)

The section is enlarged to cover officers of the Air Force under authority of §305(a) of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (5 U.S.C. 171e).

In subsection (a) the words "at the request of the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Treasury" are omitted as surplusage. The words "to receive instruction" are inserted after the listing of the services and the words "attendance and" are omitted. The word "grades" is substituted for the word "ranks".

In subsection (c) the words "rules and" are omitted. The words "who are officers of the naval service" are substituted for the words "of the United States Navy", since officers of the Marine Corps are occasionally ordered to attend the Postgraduate School on the same basis as officers of the Navy.
