The Defense Travel System (DTS) is a software application used by the U.S. Department of Defense which allows defense travelers to manage their commercial travel in accordance with the government's Joint Travel Regulations.[1]
Travelers can create authorizations — temporary duty travel (TDY) travel orders, prepare travel reservations, receive approvals, generate travel vouchers, and receive a split reimbursement between their bank accounts and the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) vendor.
DTS operates at over 9,500 total sites worldwide, and on average, DTS processes more than 25,000 transactions while approximately 100,000 unique users access it on a daily basis. Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Program Management Office DTS (PMO-DTS) has the program oversight (acquisition, technical, operation and maintenance) oversight of DTS while the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) has functional oversight.[2][3][4]
