<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>well - under certain circumstances, say a DUI on post in which you lost your driving privileges, and you were caught driving your vehicle, and you live in the barracks, He can impound your vehicle for the duration of the suspension, or until you complete your chapter. The vehicle is still yours, and the responsibility for payments, insurance and what not, are still yours. He can also order you to surrender your keys to the vehicle, add them to the key control roster, and a host of other things. A Commander would not impose such a thing unless they had a very good reason to do so. Rub some salve on your hurt feelings troop, I would bet dollars to donuts you earned this punishment.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This question is pretty vague. Did some commander just steal someone&#39;s car? Why would they have to pay for the car note or insurance if they had legally had it impounded, confiscated, etc? <br /><br />My suggestion is for any kind of legal clarity to go talk to JAG - they&#39;ll be more likely to give you an accurate, legal answer than an Internet forum. <br /><br />The only reason I could think that a commander would confiscate someone&#39;s car is that the soldier was doing something illegal with or in it. <br /><br />Also there are military regulations that allow commanders to do things.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Wow there is a lot going on here. So I am guessing you mean you just got out of the 5th floor inpatient pysch ward on a 72 hour hold and you tested positive for illegal substances on your latest urinalysis. <br /><br />If you are having multiple mini strokes are you even allowed to operate a motor vehicle not withstanding the popping hot on urinalysis? What do the army medical doctors say for your profile? If it is a safety issue and the doctors say you cannot operate a motor vehicle or as part of your punishment for popping hot on a urinalysis you cannot operate a vehicle on post or lost your driving privileges on post then yes a commander can take your keys, lock them up in the key locker making you sign in and out for a vehicle that you own and your vehicle can be impounded. You still own it meaning you are still required to pay for insurance and a car note. This might be for your own safety and to prevent you from harming yourself or someone else or further damaging your military career. <br /><br />Also with the strokes are you currently anywhere in a Med board process?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ok, lets dispel some BS that has obviously crept into this. Some barracks lawyer crap maybe. <br /><br />First? A commander cannot &quot;take&quot; a persons POV. No commander, no officer of any rank, any command, anywhere in the US armed forces can do that. Period. Now. What they can do is make it so that the person cannot drive on post by making a recommendation that the post commander revoke the members driving privileges but that has to come with a solid reason behind it. Driving is a privilege, not a right. A car is something the SM chose to take on, along with the subsequent expenses. The commander can make orders which basically state that the SM cannot drive their POV on post. The commander can impound a vehicle, but he cannot just take it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Reading your responses, your Commander didn&#39;t take your car, he took your keys. Your Commander does have the ability to suspend your driving privileges and restrict you to post if he feels it&#39;s needed. But, don&#39;t take my word for it, go to IG. Don&#39;t go to JAG they won&#39;t really help you. IG will show you the regulation, and if your Commander isn&#39;t following it, they contact the Commanders to fix it

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A commander has the authority to restrict a service member from operating a vehicle on base, for a number of reasons. They can enforce any and all regulations relevent to an installation&#39;s regulations such as driving privileges. If you live off base, they can ORDER you to remove your vehicle, or they can have it towed to an installation&#39;s Impound Lot (via the Military or DOD Police) for up to the duration of your assignment - until you PCS or ETS.<br />You wuold STILl be responsible to make your car payments and maintain insurance. Most insurance companies will reduce the cost IF the vehicle is &quot;laid-up&quot; as in stored while on deployment, extended TDY and they MIGHT do so if your vehicle is in a military installation&#39;s iimpound lot.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You gotta be in deep poop to have that done. I was in the 82nd for three years, and then well, I was at Ft.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>&quot;What UCMJ articles give the commander the right and authority to take an individual&#39;s POV&quot;<br />None.<br />However, give you a lawful order not to drive it because say, you don&#39;t have a valid license, registration, or insurance, absolutely and not uncommon at all.<br />Or if your on-post driving privileges are suspended, but you maintain a valid license, registration, and insurance.......and the vehicle was on post...playing hardball....a commander could order you not to drive it..though you could have a friend drive it off the post for you or, have it towed off post.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In what world does ones Commander even know that you exist ? It’s your car hence the POV, it’s theft I’d suppose. You could have your base driving privileges revoked, but it’s still private property. If that&#39;s the case then you park it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To be honest, you didn&#39;t give any information as to why this was done and you expect someone to give the answer you want. If you believe it was done illegally then contact JAG and let them explain if it was legal or not. In the military, you will get a ton of reasons but there is only one legal reason that works. Again, provide the reason why so some one can actually attempt to make sense and give you advice if you don&#39;t want JAG to.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A commander may impound or deny any member of the department of defense the right to operate a motor vehicle when the commander has reason to believe the service member is a risk to himself or public safety. Commanders may deny any service member the right to operate any motor vehicle on or off installation in the interest of public safety or when a service member has accumulated 12 points under AR 190-5 or DoDi 6055.4. See McDaniels v. United States for a Supreme Court ruling upholding a commanders authority to do so.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you live in the Barracks you have no option. Its on Federal land. If you live off post they can pull your driving privileges on post and you will have to park outside the gate and then walk to work. Your wife could drive you to work and drop you off. Back in the day, we had parking areas surrounded by barbed wire. You drove your car in and they shut the gate at PT. Your car stayed locked up until recall formation. On Friday the C.O. Would have us open our trunk looking for contraband. Everything once it enters the gates is under federal law.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I remember one time, my husband and I lived in post housing, at the time, not far from the commissary, Because the commissary was so close, I didn&#39;t need to drive anywhere very often, neither did my husband since his work was only a couple blocks away. Our car was parked in our parking slot, but they towed it because it hadn&#39;t been moved in however long. I don&#39;t remember anymore. SO frustrating. So we had to go pay a fine and get it back.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Wow, some heated responses below. I was a legal clerk at company level for a year and did a lot of Article 15s. I didn&#39;t see anything like taking a car. I did learn about being restricted from driving on base when I was stopped for not having a face shield on my motorbike helmet. But the above question from this PFC reminds me of when I was a Division Officer on a submarine. My guys would get in trouble and then tell me their tale of woe. Except they always left out the part where they did something really stupid and ended up getting (almost) everything they deserved. Would like to hear the rest of the story here.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think your mistaken the purpose of UCMJ. If you as a Soldier messed up then UCMJ is imposed on you it&#39;s not the source of authority that would be by regulation and by virtue of being in command. It&#39;s called positional authority. I also think you are leaving out alot to the story here. I would suggest if you want a complete and honest answer to your issue to air out your dirty laundry first. If you still beleive you where wrong, you have the option to appeal to the next higher level, however this could result in further issues for you if you in fact leave things out or embelish. Best advice I to just own it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>WOW... Now that I am looking at the original post....<br />James if it was you. Ask for a general discharge, go to JAG and ask for help to get out. If A SM Complains about THE POV, that is the wrong thing to say. Complain about the COC not helping you in sobriety.<br />Assuming you did everything they asked for your plan of care to get sober.<br /><br />That commander should start chapter proceedings immediatly, then give that POV back at discharge.<br />I remember standing in front of the &quot;SMAg&quot; and the BN LTC telling them my plan to rehabilitate a soldier if they don&#39;t chapter them. 2/3 times it failed! All of the time I spent on the one and their family took away from the other 8-10 I had in my squad. <br />I assume that a PFC they tried to treat for the addiction and it failed. In the Airborne we did our best to retain our SMs. For some, we almost felt like a failure when we could not rehabilitate them. However, NCO&#39;s that had to deal with that understand you can only do so much.<br />I went through this with a PFC, I went through this with POT for a SPC. I went through it with a SGT(p) <br /> and he recovered and took over the squad when I was medically retired and deployed into combat with them. It is up to the SM to get better. COC can only do so much to help them (and their family dependents) Military life is not for everyone.<br />Sadly, some people just need to go. Airborne and Essayons all...<br />I served 16 years. Took a demotion to move to another MOS to advance to E6 for better cut off points. I never had a substance abuse SM in aviation, only under my command that was AA or 20th Eng Abn. That does not mean it can&#39;t happen at any post. AA the joke... I hope for the 82nd.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>None best a co can do is recommend the sm not be permitted to drive on post. In 23 years I&#39;ve never seen one try. Normally they lose that privilege for dui or repeated tickets. The Post CO gets sick of seeing the same name on the blotter or the Mps send a recommendation up and bang zoom your done. Your vehicle can get impounded, but no commander can take your personal property and keep it as long as it was legal to own to begin with.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Base commander owns the base and he can take a sm, civilian and dependents driving privileges away on his base. If he or she has a legal reason then they can restrict you from driving on their base. And yes even a civilian employee. I have seen it done.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The UCMJ article is sighted on the article 15 you received for doing whatever you did to warrant loss of driving privileges and impounding of your vehicle.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Short answer is no, a commander cannot take your car. The vehicle is not government property. Some believe the commander can impound it, well no they cannot. Now the Military Police can impound the vehicle if it is involved in a crime, or abandoned, but a commander cannot call them up and order them to impound it. A commander can order you not to operate the vehicle should you not have valid insurance or if the vehicle is not safe to operate and if you disobey the order then UCMJ is within their purview to hold you accountable and you may find yourself having nowhere to go for the next 45 days.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Closest I&#39;ve ever seen to a commander &quot;taking&quot; someone&#39;s vehicle is when the commander ordered a new airman to sell his new car. Just out of basic and tech school, the E-3 goes off and bought a brand new Lexus (forgot what kind), fully loaded. After his payment and his insurance, he had about $20 left each month. He figured he&#39;d be fine because he lived in the barracks and would just eat at the dinning facility. Yeah.. no. First month with the car he went out and partied, overdrew his bank account by $200 in one night.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They can not &quot;take&quot; it, but...In certain circumstances, as a result of specific actions, an individual&#39;s on base driving privileges can be suspended. A vehicle may be impounded for specific reasons (as abandoned, for example). Most seriously, a vehicle, as with any other property, may be seized and held as evidence in criminal investigations.
