Having served only in the Navy, I don't know if the Army, AF, etc has general DOD regulations that every service re-writes under that branch's guidelines ... but, it would seem to me that each branch [and thus the Recreation Depts] would come under the main DOD regulations, and then be 'adjusted' to suit each branch of service -- although in practice we already know that many of the MCG facilities dance to a different and separate tune. That can be attributed to application and interpretation of the TOP DOG regulations by different individuals in charge at the time -- either right now in charge, or in charge when the facility was originally built.
I'm gonna make a guess that computerization -- and the electronic communications systems -- now enjoyed by the military retired as well as the public will soon bring the variations in application of those regulations to the attention of someone that might want the original regulations enforced as was intended by those that originally wrote them. And particularly when the misenterpretation of those regulations causes enough "users" to make what some might consider "abuse" known to the powers above.
In the past, before the moderization of "camping", the development of high-end RV's, and an ever increasing number of RV owners, we probably had too small a "voice" to matter. I believe that number is increasing quite rapidly now, and as MCG and RV use increases, the point when that voice will be heard loud and clear is fast approaching. Although, some fear that decisions made by individuals in charge that DO NOT camp could easily impact our MCGs in a negative manner -- so, we must be careful what we wish (or scream) for ...
