Thi^ subsection may be used only under unusual or emergency circumstances, including those in which— (1) the member is performing duty at a place designated by the Secretary concerned as being within a zone from which dependents should be evacuated; (2) orders which direct the member's travel in connection with temporary duty do not provide for return to the permanent station or do not specify or imply any limit to the period of absence from his permanent station; or (3) the member is serving on permanent duty at a station outside the United States, in Hawaii or Alaska, or on sea duty. (f) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, transportation for dependents, baggage, and household effects of a member is authorized if he dies while entitled to basic pay under chapter 3 of this title. (g) Under uniform regulations prescribed by the Secretaries concerned, a member who— (1) is retired, or placed on the temporary disability retired list, under chapter 61 of title 10; or (2) is retired with pay under any other law, or, immediately following at least eight years of continuous active duty with no single break therein of more than 90 days, is discharged with severance pay or is involuntarily released from active duty with readjustment pay; is entitled to transportation for his dependents, baggage, and household effects to the home selected under section 404(c) of this title.

If a member authorized to select a home under section 404(c) of this title accrues that right or any entitlement under this subsection but dies before he exercises it, that right or entitlement accrues to and may be exercised by his surviving dependents, or his baggage and household effects may be shipped to the home of the person legally entitled thereto if there are no surviving dependents. However, in any case in which the costs are in excess of those which would have been incurred if shipment had been made to the members' selected home, the surviving dependents or the person legally entitled to the baggage and household effects, as the case may be, shall pay that excess cost. §407.

(b) A member is not entitled to more than one dislocation allowance during a fiscal year unless— (1) the Secretary concerned finds that the exigencies of the service require the member to make more than one such change of station during that fiscal year; or
