Reservists now authorized to travel in a space-required status for inactive duty training worldwide
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) --- U.S. Transportation Command announced here today an expansion of space required travel options for reservists traveling for inactive duty training (IDT) worldwide.
Based on the recently enacted Public law 106-65, in the Department of Defense Authorization act, members can now travel on DOD aircraft worldwide in a space required status from their home to their authorized IDT assembly, when performing IDT training.
The travel eligibility is nonchargeable if the member moves on DOD aircraft.
This change will be incorporated in the next update of DOD 4515.13-R (Air Transportation Eligibility).
Seat reservations can be made 30 days in advance of travel for certain destinations. Reserve members must provide written authorization for travel.
All charges above and beyond the seat tariff rate are the responsibility of the member (head tax, excess baggage, federal inspection fees, meal charges, etc.).
Individuals cannot use this travel in conjunction with man-days and annual tours.
For more information, members should contact their local reserve unit advisor. The USTRANSCOM point of contact is Patti Hutt, (618) 229-1985 or DSN 779-1985. The Air Mobility Command point of contact is Cindy Rothenbach, (618) 229-4592 or DSN 779-4592.
