travel policy
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL
1-1. PURPOSE. This policy defines specific guidance for approved allowances during official government travel and requirements needed to process authorizations and vouchers within the Defense Travel System (DTS). It also provides guidance on the Government Credit Charge Card (GTCC) usage to ensure personal accountability when obligating the government funds for travel. The proponent for this guidance is the U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command (USASOAC), Comptroller Office.
1-2. SCOPE. This policy applies to United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOAC) Staff Directorates and Component Subordinate Units (CSU). Maintaining practices that are consistent and impartial with respect to allowable travel expenses for reimbursement is vital for continuity throughout the Command. Commanders and Accountable Officials (AO) have the responsibility of maintaining their unit’s budget and authorizing travel expenses charged to it. The Comptroller office, however, has the responsibility of being the final authority to interpret DoD travel regulations and policies that correspond to it.
