C12.8.5. Funding. If non-reimbursable FDR funding requirements exceed the amount of OHDACA funds available for DoD FDR support, DSCA will coordinate with DASD/SHA and USD(C) to identify and, if necessary, reprogram other available DoD funds.

OHDACA funds are not provided to PNs or third country partners for reimbursement or payment of the PN's disaster relief activities.
