The military sales program is the brainchild of the United States government to help military personnel, both in active duty and retired, as well as diplomats and civilians DOD ID cardholders, enjoy benefits abroad while serving the country.
The program aims to help military personnel in purchasing cars while stationed abroad, particularly in Europe. Capitol Motors notes military sales programs in Germany include dealers like Volvo as well as other American and European made cars. Below are some of the things you can enjoy as a small token of appreciation for serving your country:

The difference when buying as a military personnel and as an ordinary civilian is the counseling program that dealers offer their customers. Financial counseling before, during, and after the purchase are offered to help military men with their purchase as well as the paperwork.
