It is not an individual Installation Commanders decision. As for the USAF no installation will provide the DOD sticker. I know, I asked once upon a time, and the question was asked at dEPT level and the answer was a resounding NO. Some people including me wanted them for exactly the reason you suggested so that if anther installation required them they would be on the vehicle. I got mine for a couple of years at a near-by Army installation until such time as they also quit registrations. If one stops and thinks about it they were never any good anyway. Could register the vehicle one day drop the insurance the next and drive on base every day. So why spend the time effort and money to do a worthless task. The cops can check you vehicle license any time just like every other cop does so why spend the time and effort of a separate and parallel program.
