MIL-HDBK-1036A

wherever the Secretary determines that unique mission requirements or operational commitments are better served by congregate living (possible examples:  Seal Teams, Force Reconnaissance Marines, Special Forces)

wherever the Secretary determines that the collective quality of life for members of a Service would be more enhanced by constructing to a lesser standard but providing new quarters to a larger number of members

Existing UEPH will not be considered inadequate for assignment because of these new criteria.  But I recognize that their announcement represents a commitment to upgrading the level of privacy provided to each Service member as our resources and ingenuity permit.  I challenge each Service to implement the new standard as part of an integrated UEPH plan which considers optimal use of existing, adequate quarters, renovation of those which can be made adequate, traditional military construction,

and innovative use of private sector solutions.
