A National Guard member called to duty for a federally declared disaster or national emergency may use commissary stores and MWR retail facilities during that duty. Covered dependents receive corresponding access, and the section defines three quoted terms.

(a) A National Guard member who is not in Federal service but is called or ordered to duty in response to a federally declared disaster or national emergency must be allowed to use commissary stores and MWR retail facilities during that duty on the same basis as an active-duty armed-forces member. (b) A dependent of such a member must be allowed to use the stores and facilities during the same period and on the same basis as an active-duty dependent. (c) “Federally declared disaster” means a disaster or other situation for which the President issues a major-disaster declaration under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. “MWR retail facilities” has the meaning in section 1063(e) of this title; this section does not define it. “National emergency” means one declared by the President or Congress.
