Costs incurred solely because of participation in or support of an unbudgeted activity or event. Examples include unbudgeted expense for booth space at an air show or sporting event or for personnel (or equipment) travel and transportation, meals and lodging for military personnel away from government messes, and civilian per diem and overtime pay. Costs such as pay and allowances of personnel (excluding overtime) are generally not considered additional costs to the government.

aerial events
A flyover of more than four aircraft of the same type, or of any number of multiple types of aircraft, or of aircraft representing more than one Military Service element in trail formation and not involving precision maneuvers or demonstrations. A single element involving four or fewer aircraft of multiple types from the same Military Service is not considered an aerial review, but should be undertaken only with applicable consideration given to safety, compatible flying characteristics, and overall theme of the event that is being supported.
ceremonial support
Support provided by ceremonial units (or individuals) officially representing their command, Military Department, or the DoD.

members.
Social events such as non-military concerts, dinners, roasts, or tributes for individuals generally do not meet the criteria for ceremonial support.
community
A group of people with common interests. Normally refers to a geographic location, such as a town, city, or nation, or to a representative interest group, such as an organization or an association.
