What regulation states that SMs are not authorized to receive an award for an inter-post transfers (since it is not technically a PCS)?

You don't get awards for PCSing. You get an award at PCS time to recognize your cumulative contributions to the mission and the team. It is not an absolute requirement.This goes for transfers as well.
An "impact award" is one where you earned it for achievement or excellence during the tour (overseas or CONUS) in a way that should be recognized as an act of it's own instead of a culmination of service during the tour. These types of awards are usually tied to one or two specific events where performance from you or your team was outstanding.

that's the problem with awards, everybody thinks their entitled to one. its up to your chain of command if you get one or not. so stop the winning and get over it. if your wife is a pfc like you then she hasn't been long enough for a pcs award, and as posted by another nco, being attached to another unit for a deployment is not a pcs move

Hooah. "No individual is automatically entitled to an award upon departure from an assignment. Awards presented in conjunction with a PCS will be limited to exceptional cases. Certificates of achievement and letters of commendation or appreciation are appropriate means to recognize departing personnel."
