The free storage of soldiers' personal things during their deployment has been abolished by the U.S. Army.
The ruling impacts soldiers who are deployed for an extended period of time, however it's unclear if it applies to all kinds of deployments.
To deal with this development, the Army is creating a new policy, though it's unclear exactly when or what the policy will entail.
According to a service spokesman Sgt. Pablo Saez, "HQDA G-1 [The Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Department of the Army] is drafting policy that would enable such storage." "We understand the burden this could potentially place on soldiers," Saez said.
Consequently, soldiers now have permission to keep their cars in motor pools, which are frequently unheated and unventilated.
