TRAVEL ORDERS

A travel order identifies the travel purpose and includes necessary financial information for budgetary and reimbursement purposes. It also provides documentation for using travel programs to a Travel Management Company (TMC) and travel service vendors (FTR § 301-71.100).
 

The travel order provides the traveler information regarding what expenses may be reimbursed.  It should be issued before travel begins unless an urgent or unusual situation prevents prior issuance (FTR § 301-71.108). 

Use the following resources to help you prepare travel orders:

DD Form 1614
