and Authorization for TDY Travel of DoD Personnel
After
O4Nov2024, DoD will still accept a members DD-1610 if printed prior to 04 Nov
2024 with proper fields filled correctly.
- Any DD-1610 printed after 04 Nov 2024 will be manually
generated and would not have been processed through DTS

accepted unless for an exemption agency.
Guantanamo
Bay Cuba still requires that the DoD Traveler
will need to show proof of a DTS travel order for arrival, departures and
leave, so they are being provided the following information and directed to the
site to manually provide and completed DD-1610.
DTS travelers can continue to use the Print Authorization
function to print a physical copy of their DTS authorization as a PDF.
If a DD Form 1610 is requested instead, travelers can access and complete the form
from the Washington Headquarters Service [esd.whs.mil].
Certain Forms to be removed
from DTS
Effective November 4, 2024 (date subject to change), users
will no longer be able to print the following Government forms from DTS: DD
Form 1610, DD Form 1351-2, and Optional Form (OF) 1164
Please
be aware that the capability to print the following Government forms from

change brings DTS into compliance with the Joint Travel Regulations, Section
010206, and the Defense Travel System Regulations, published under the
authority of the DoDI 5154.31, Volume 3.
DTS
travelers can continue to use the Print Authorization sheet function to print a
physical copy of their DTS authorization as a PDF and print the routing sheet
representing approval of the authorization sheet through DTS.
The
travel authorization provided by the traveler must contain an “Authorization
number” at the top.
Based
on the available information , after 04 November 2024, the DoD Passport Program
can utilize the following two items:
- The
Travel Authorization,
- This will show the authorization number, document number, departure point,
the oversea destination, accounting classification and additional
misc. trip data.
- The
routing list
- This will show the authorization number and approval status.
- If the routing is yet to be approved, the trip is not
confirmed and the form cannot be used until approval of the travel
authorization is shown on it. Examples below:

Update to the Use of
DD Form 1610, Update as of 29 Nov 2024
As a reminder after O4Nov2024 DoD will still accept a members DD-1610 if it was
printed prior to 04 Nov 2024 with appropriate signatures affixed.
Any DD-1610 printed after 04 Nov 2024 has been manually generated and would not
have processed through DTS (exceptions
below)
DD-1610 forms created after 04 Nov 2024 will not be accepted from DoD
appropriated funds employee for Passport and Visa processing.
Additional reminder "Non-appropriated funds"
(NAF) personnel and other exempt agencies do not utilize DTS for their travel
planning and manually produce the Form DD-1610 as the most efficient option to
capture their travel details.
The change to the DTS platform has moderately impacted the
normal processing of applications just a bit. DoD personnel are no longer
able to utilize the DD-1610 since the DTS System used by 95% of DoD as of 04
Nov 2024 no longer allows the printing of this form and a few others used for
auditing of accounts.
NAF employees will not require the Memo in lieu of orders,
they may use their manual DD-1610’s along with the other exempt agencies.
PSD is reviewing all exceptions to the use of the manual DD
Form 1610.
Employees of NAF utilize a system called “Concur”, this
system is internal to NAF even though they are DoD and considered Federal
employees however due to federal regulations are not authorize use of
DTS. NAF employees are authorized to provide a manual DD-1610 with
digital or CAC signature from their travel authority. The Form is
maintained at WHS.MIL site and is used to display the travel details and
approval because Concur does not have a display sheet.
The NAF employee must be able to provide they are employed
by NAF and present the manual DD1610 with the generated travel funding lines,
travel requirements and there must be a digital signature from their travel
authority.
- NAF employment is different from civil Service federal
employment because salaries for NAF employees are not allocated by
Congress. NAF employees do not have a "standard" SF-50, as
they use a different form called a "Notification of Personnel
Action" which is specific to Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) systems,
meaning it functions similarly to an SF-50
Exemption Agencies for organizational
use of the DD-1610:
- Guantanamo Bay Cuba still requires that the DoD Traveler will need
to show proof of a DTS travel order for arrival, departures and leave, so
they are being provided the necessary instructions and directed to the
appropriate site to manually complete and provide the required DD-1610
- NAF employee personnel do not utilize DTS to
produce the Form DD-1610. They used a NAF system call Concur but
must provide a manual DD-1610 with digital or CAC signature from their
travel authority. The Form is maintained at WHS.MIL and is
used to display the travel details and approval because Concur does not
have a display sheet.
- American Red Cross personnel must
provide a manual DD-1610 with digital or CAC signature from their travel
authority. The Form is maintained at WHS.MIL and is used to
display the travel details
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
personnel must provide a manual DD-1610s with digital or CAC signature
from their travel authority. The Form is maintained at WHS.MIL and
is used to display the travel details.
