The Secretary may maintain such offices on such military installations located elsewhere as the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of Defense and taking into account recommendations, if any, of the Secretary of Labor, determines to be necessary to carry out such purposes.

(1) the geographical distribution of veterans recently discharged or released from active military, naval, or air service;
(2) the special needs of educationally disadvantaged veterans (including their need for accessibility of outreach services); and
(3) the necessity of providing appropriate outreach services in less populated areas.
