In the context of DoD land disposal, which term describes disposals through sale or leasing to others?

• A. Sale or Out-Lease
• B. Donation or Assignment
• C. Lease with option to buy
• D. Transfer to another agency

Answer: (A)

Disposals through sale or leasing to others are described by the term that encompasses both transferring ownership and giving others the right to use the land. Sale or Out-Lease captures this broad idea: you either sell the land or lease it to non-DoD parties, effectively transferring use or ownership to someone outside the department. This distinguishes it from donation or assignment (which involve gifts or transfers that aren’t about sale or leasing to others), lease with option to buy (a specific leasing arrangement that may not immediately transfer ownership), or transfer to another agency (an internal government transfer). Hence, Sale or Out-Lease is the precise label for disposals made by selling or leasing land to external parties.
