In the sale or out-lease of DoD land, what percent of the proceeds may be kept by the installation commander for local use?

• A. 50 percent
• B. 25 percent
• C. 75 percent
• D. 0 percent

Answer: (A)

The policy tested is how proceeds from disposition of DoD land are handled. Installation commanders may retain up to 50 percent of the net proceeds for local use, so they have immediate funding to address installation needs that arise from the sale or out-lease. The remaining proceeds are directed according to DoD policy, typically to centralized accounts or the Treasury. This is why the correct choice is fifty percent: it represents the maximum share allowed for local use, balancing immediate installation needs with overall accountability and funds flow. The other percentages would not align with that policy.
