Sec. 2204. Obligation of appropriations

    To prevent overdrafts and deficiencies in the fiscal year for which 
appropriations are made, appropriations made to the Department of 
Defense or to a military department, and reimbursements thereto, are 
available for obligation and expenditure only under scheduled rates of 
obligation, or changes thereto, that have been approved by the Secretary 
of Defense. This section does not prohibit the Department of Defense 
from incurring a deficiency that it has been authorized by law to incur.
