scope:

This volume of the Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation ("DoDFMR") is issued under the authority of Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 7000.14, "DoD Financial Management Policy and Procedures," November 15, 1992 (reference (a)); Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR), Introduction, (reference (b)); and Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), Introduction (reference (c)). This volume provides supplemental instructions on the payment of allowances authorized by the JFTR/JTR. The DoD chartered Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee (PDTATAC) publishes both the JFTR and JTR. The JFTR directly implements the travel and transportation entitlements authorized by law for members of the Uniformed Services and, thus, has the force and effect of law; therefore, it cannot be waived. The JTR prescribes travel and transportation allowances authorized for DoD civilian employees. The JTR is the Department's implementing guidance for the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), (reference (d)), issued by the General Services Administration (GSA).
