If a military spouse and sponsor are temporarily relocated, does military spouse preference apply in the area of the temporary duty station or safe haven?
In accordance with 10 USC 1784, preference applies only in the geographic area of the sponsor’s permanent duty station. Therefore, preference would be applicable only if the sponsor and spouse are temporarily assigned to another installation within the same geographic area. There is no statutory basis for extending preference to other areas.
