• The Defense Travel System is designed to manage all
aspects of travel for DOD FTS and SELRES Members.
• DTS reduces manpower workload and speeds the payment
of travel claims while maintaining an auditable paper trail.
• For reserve members, NROWS uploads the itineraries from
orders into a member’s DTS profile for reimbursement of
travel expenses.
-NROWS orders requiring a DTS travel claim “will be paid
through DTS” on the accounting line.
• For FTS members all travel orders will be provided via DTS.

and GMR is the check boxes used for meals. Two boxes checked will yield PMR, three checked will yield GMR.
Special Rate – Used to adjust the per diem rate to the correct amount when the system is not displaying the correct
rate.
NOTE: There are many differences with per diem rates inside or outside the United States. These will be covered in
greater detail under the vouchers section of this training.
