OFFICERS AND ENLISTED PERSONS PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR MILITARY PROPERTY (§
44-108)

Every officer and enlisted person to whom any article of military property is
delivered in pursuance of the provisions of this chapter shall be held
personally responsible for its care, safekeeping, and return. He shall use the
same for military purposes only, and upon receiving a discharge, or otherwise
leaving the military service, or upon demand of his commanding officer or the
Adjutant General, shall forthwith surrender and deliver such property in as good
order and condition as the same was at the time he received it, reasonable fair
wear and tear excepted. As insurance for compliance with the provisions of this
chapter, the Adjutant General may require the bonding of any or all such
officers or enlisted persons in an amount that he may deem appropriate,
commensurate with the responsibilities of such officers or enlisted persons. The
cost of such bonds shall be borne from funds appropriated for the operation of
the Department of Military Affairs, and shall be without cost to the individual
officer and/or enlisted person bonded.
