Why can spouses who are in Europe but located outside of Germany obtain a fuel card?
• Fuel ration card eligibility for personnel who are visiting Germany is based on the existing NATO Status of Forces Agreement and the existing Agreement on the Status of Personnel on Leave. Both agreements limited rationed fuel eligibility within Germany to during times that the sponsor travels in TDY, annual leave or military pass status in Germany. Sponsors who visit Germany may set up their short-term fuel ration card so their spouse becomes an eligible driver.
