-STATUTE-
      (a) No enlisted member of the Army may sell, lend, pledge,
    barter, or give any clothing, arms, or equipment furnished him by
    the United States to any person other than a member of the Army, or
    an officer of the United States, authorized to receive it.
      (b) If a member of the Army has disposed of property in violation
    of subsection (a) and it is in the possession of a person who is
    neither a member of the Army, nor an officer of the United States,
    authorized to receive it, that person has no right to or interest
    in the property, and any civil or military officer of the United
    States may seize it, wherever found. Possession of such property
    furnished by the United States to a member of the Army, by a person
    who is neither a member of the Army nor an officer of the United
    States, is prima facie evidence that it has been disposed of in
    violation of subsection (a).
      (c) If an officer who seizes property under subsection (b) is not
    authorized to retain it for the United States, he shall deliver it
    to a person who is authorized to retain it.

    "articles designated by the inspectors general of the Army, and
    sold to him on credit by officers of the Quartermaster Corps", in

    4623 of this title.
      In subsection (b), the last sentence is substituted for 10:875a
    (1st and 2d provisos). The words "on current payrolls" are omitted
    as surplusage.

    substituted for the words "in the proportions hereinbefore
    indicated".
      In subsection (d), the words "If he considers it in the best
    interest of the United States" are substituted for the words "when
    in his opinion the interests of the Government are best served by
    such action". The words "before, or at the time of" are substituted
    for the words "either on * * * or prior thereto".

      The change [in subsec. (b)] reflects the opinion of the Judge
    Advocate General of the Air Force (June 10, 1957) that the term
    "rate of pay", as used in the source law for section 4837(b) (Act
    of May 22, 1928, ch. 676 (45 Stat. 698), as amended), included
    special pay and incentive pay.
      The change [in subsec. (f)] reflects the opinion of the Assistant
    General Counsel (Fiscal Matters), Department of Defense (July 19,
    1957), that section 1304, Revised Statutes (formerly 10 U.S.C.
    872), the source law for this section, applied to warrant officers
    as well as to commissioned officers.

                                AMENDMENTS                            
      2006 - Pub. L. 109-163 amended section catchline and text
    generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: "If he
    considers it in the best interest of the United States, the
    Secretary may have remitted or cancelled any part of an enlisted
    member's indebtedness to the United States or any of its
    instrumentalities remaining unpaid before, or at the time of, that
    member's honorable discharge."
      Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 109-364, Sec. 673(e)(1), substituted "The
    Secretary of the Army" for "If the Secretary considers it to be in
    the best interest of the United States, the Secretary" and inserted
    ", but only if the Secretary considers such action to be in the
    best interest of the United States" before period at end.
      Pub. L. 109-364, Sec. 673(a)(1), which directed amendment of
    subsec. (a) by substituting "of a person to the United States or
    any instrumentality of the United States incurred while the person
    was serving on active duty as a member of the Army" for "of a
    member" and all that follows through "on active duty", was executed
    by making the substitution for "of a member of the Army on active
    duty, or a member of a reserve component of the Army in an active
    status, to the United States or any instrumentality of the United
    States incurred while the member was serving on active duty", thus
    making the substitution for "of a member" and all that follows
    through "on active duty" the second place it appeared, to reflect
    the probable intent of Congress.
      Subsecs. (b) to (d). Pub. L. 109-364, Sec. 673(a)(2),
    redesignated subsecs. (c) and (d) as (b) and (c), respectively, and
    struck out heading and text of former subsec. (b). Text read as
    follows: "The Secretary may exercise the authority in subsection
    (a) with respect to a member - 
        "(1) while the member is on active duty or in active status, as
      the case may be;
        "(2) if discharged from the armed forces under honorable
      conditions, during the one-year period beginning on the date of
      such discharge; or
        "(3) if released from active status in a reserve component,
      during the one-year period beginning on the date of such
      release."
      1980 - Pub. L. 96-513, substituted "remission or cancellation of
    indebtedness of enlisted members" for "deductions from pay" in
    section catchline, and in text substituted "If he" for "(d) If he".
      1962 - Pub. L. 87-649 repealed subsecs. (a) to (c) and (e) to (g)
    which related to deductions from pay. See subsecs. (b) to (g),
    respectively, of section 1007 of Title 37, Pay and Allowances of
    the Uniformed Services.
      1958 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(27)(A),
    substituted "his pay for that month" for "his basic pay for that
    month".
      Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(27)(B), substituted "an
    officer" for "a commissioned officer" in two places.

-STATUTE-
      Before final payment upon discharge may be made to an officer of
    the Army who has been accountable or responsible for public
    property, he must obtain a certificate of nonindebtedness to the
    United States from each officer to whom he was accountable or
    responsible for property. He must also make an affidavit, certified
    by his commanding officer to be correct, that he is not accountable
    or responsible for property to any other officer. An officer who
    has not been responsible for public property must make an affidavit
    of that fact, certified by his commanding officer. Compliance with
    this section warrants the final payment of the officer concerned.
