Remote and Isolated

Remote and Isolated FAQ

The DoW policy on designating installations as remote and isolated is contained in Enclosure 7 of DoDI 1015.10, “Military Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Programs.”

Per Enclosure 7 of DoDI 1015.10:

a. Certain installations with Category C programs may not be capable of self-sufficiency due to extenuating circumstances. Installations that ultimately are included on the remote and isolated list, however, must have special circumstances that genuinely require additional APF assistance to continue their Category C programs.

b. Category C programs at installations designated as remote and isolated for MWR program purposes are generally authorized the same type of funding as Category B programs. These exemptions are allowed because these locations are isolated or are exceptional due to conditions that make them very similar to remote and isolated locations.

Submit all pertinent documentation via the fillable PDF, Remote and Isolate Request Template, through appropriate Military Department channels, to the ASW(M&RA) and the MWR and Resale Policy office for review and approval.
