This chapter lets the government acquire and build facilities for training reserve units of the armed forces. Two or more reserve components can share these facilities to save money. In wartime or an emergency, other units — and the government generally — can also use them.

This chapter's purpose is to provide for: (1) acquiring — by purchase, lease, transfer, construction, expansion, rehabilitation, or conversion — facilities needed to properly develop, train, operate, and maintain the reserve components of the armed forces, including troop housing and dining facilities; (2) letting units of two or more reserve components jointly use those facilities, as much as practical, for efficiency and economy; (3) letting those units and other armed forces units use those facilities during a time of war or national emergency, as much as practical, for efficiency and economy; and (4) letting the United States use those facilities for any other purpose during a time of war or national emergency, as much as practical, for efficiency and economy.
