JFTR/JTR Appendix O 2. Getting it Approved. The AO must approve the expenses on the Trip Record for the traveler to get paid. This includes reviewing the required receipts. 3. Turning in the Expense Report. A finance office or an office contractually arranged by the traveler’s Service or Agency may provide this service. The amount paid is the amount the AO approves. 4. Random Audits. Random audits of travel expense reports are conducted. T4060 AUTHORIZING OFFICIAL’S RESPONSIBILITIES A. General. Authorizing Officials have broad authority to determine when TDY travel is necessary to accomplish the unit’s mission, authorize travel, obligate unit travel funds, approve trip arrangements, and authorize travel expenses incurred in connection with that mission. For civilian travelers, the AO shall determine the purpose of the travel (see JTR, Appendix H) for notation on the Trip Record. The CTO is central in helping to execute those responsibilities. 1. The CTO generates a Trip Record. On it, the CTO prepares a should-cost estimate that reflects standard arrangements made in compliance with travel policies using Government negotiated airline, lodging, and rental car rates. If the standard arrangements do not meet the needs of the mission, the CTO provides other travel options to satisfy mission requirements, and conform to law, regulation, policy, and contractual obligations. Use the should-cost estimate to determine if the travel budget can support the travel. Authorize CTO identified should-cost standard arrangements, unless additional or unusual cost options are required to complete the mission and they make good overall business sense. 2. The CTO and TO shall have available information on policies relating to transportation and travel arrangements. Get other needed travel-related information from command channels or Service headquarters. Use management information from the CTO and the travel card company to assist in future travel decisions. 3. Make sure travelers have access to the unit’s travel card if they do not have individually issued cards. Refer inquiries about card usage to the local card program coordinator. 4. Adhere to policies and procedures discussed in this regulation, use good judgment in obligating unit funds, and ensure travelers receive adequate reimbursement under policies established in this regulation. B. What’s Allowable and Not Allowable 1. Transportation a. What AOs may direct. AOs may direct the traveler to use a particular mode of travel, except for private or rental vehicle. Only direct a specific mode when it is essential to mission success. b. Options on use of contract flights. The CTO shall use contract flights and fares in scheduling travel. In unusual circumstances, AOs may authorize the CTO to make other arrangements if: (1) Seating space or the scheduled contract flight is not available in time to accomplish the mission, or use of the contract flight would increase the overall cost of the trip; (2) The contract carrier’s flight schedule does not operate during normal working hours; (3) A fare, that is available to the general public, is less than the contract fare and would result in lower total cost to the Government; (4) Rail service is available, cost effective, and consistent with mission requirements; (5) Smoking is permitted on the contract carrier flight and the nonsmoking section of the aircraft for the contract flight is not acceptable to the traveler; or Change 179/<strong>433</strong> O-15 11/1/00

DoD Announces Revision to Joint Travel Regulations Authorizing Transportation of Gun Safes

Today, the Department of Defense announced that effective May 2, 2022, the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) will allow service members to ship empty gun safes, not to exceed 500 pounds, in addition to a service member’s prescribed Household Goods weight allowance to their next permanent duty station, which includes the home of record or home of selection, upon leaving the Service.

This JTR revision was initially requested by the Under Secretary of the Air Force in April in support of the Month of The Military Child with a focus on how important gun safes are for overall gun safety and child safety. This revision contributes to the Department’s efforts to prevent suicide, domestic violence and accidental death among children in the household by incentivizing safe storage options for firearms. This revision also supports the President’s Military and Veteran Suicide Prevention Strategy and is being promoted in support of May as National Mental Health Awareness Month.

The memorandum for the Joint Travel Regulations revision authorizing gun safe transportation can be found here .
