(7-1-24) 02. Military Emergency Affecting National Security. Any movement by or for a military or other government agency which is in excess of permit policy maximum limits of weight or size or which is otherwise outside established rules must be certified as a military necessity involving national security before receiving any special consideration to provide any waiver of normal permit rules. Certification of military necessity must be made by an official designated as having such authority by the Department of Defense Directory, issued by the Office of the Chief of Transportation, Department of Army. All applications for military emergency movements must be channeled through the Commercial Vehicle Services within the Department. (7-1-24) 03.

Verbal approval to proceed without a special permit in the vehicle may be obtained from the Commercial Vehicle Services or an Idaho Port-of-Entry. Once the emergency movement is completed, a formal application for a special permit must be submitted to Commercial Vehicle Services. (7-1-24) 04. Emergency Movement of Implements of Husbandry.
