What does Dislocation Allowance (DLA) provide to Sailors?

1. Funding for retirement benefits

2. Financial assistance for relocating between duty stations

3. Support for educational opportunities

4. Compensation for on-base housing

The correct answer is: Financial assistance for relocating between duty stations

Dislocation Allowance (DLA) is designed to provide Sailors with financial assistance specifically related to the costs incurred during relocation between duty stations. This allowance helps cover expenses associated with moving, which can include items such as transportation for household goods, travel costs, and various settling-in expenses that arise when a Sailor is transferred to a new location. This support is important because relocating can impose significant financial burdens on service members and their families. DLA helps to ease these burdens by providing necessary funds to facilitate a smoother transition, ensuring that Sailors can focus on their duties without being excessively weighed down by the costs of moving.
