APPENDIX F
REIMBURSEMENT FOR DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES
1. General
a. DSCA is provided on a reimbursable basis unless otherwise directed by the
President. Cost reimbursement for DSCA is always IAW the Economy Act of 1932 or the
Stafford Act.
See JP 1-06, Financial Management Support in Joint Operations, for more information.
b. DOD components are not funded to train, equip, and exercise specifically for
DSCA operations; therefore, they ordinarily provide DSCA on a cost-reimbursable basis.

loan, grant, or consumption of DOD resources for DSCA, as necessary, to ensure
reimbursement of costs to the DOD components under the Stafford Act, as amended, or
other applicable authority.

augment available funds using a special accounting program code. Incremental costs that
