2020 Joint Travel Regulations The 2020 Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) are applicable to uniformed members of the seven uniformed services (i.e., Uniformed Members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps, and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps), DoD civilian employees and others traveling at DoD expense. Why publish this manual? Well, for one, this book contains all the Amendments as of January 2020. Putting all this material in hard copy is critical. Sure, you can access the manual on a web site - if you happen to have an internet connection. But, if you are out of the office nothing beats having the book right there. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this so you don't have to. Some documents are only distributed in electronic media. Some online docs are missing some pages or the graphics are barely legible. When a new standard is released, an employee prints it out, punches holes and puts it in a 3-ring binder. While this is not a big deal for a 5 or 10-page document, many government documents are over 100 pages and printing a large document is a time-consuming effort. So, an employee is spending hours simply printing out the tools needed to do the job. That's time that could be better spent doing work. We publish these documents so they can focus on what they were hired to do.

In response to government-wide direction for agencies to reduce travel costs, in November 2014 DOD changed its JTR by instituting a flat rate per diem policy on long-term TDY travel. This policy reduced the locality rate payable for each full day at the location, depending on the duration of the TDY: for TDYs of between 31 and 180 days the flat rate per diem is 75 percent, and for TDYs of greater than 180 days it is 55 percent. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 included a provision that GAO assess the impact of DOD's policy change to the JTR on shipyard and depot workers. This report assesses the extent to which (1) depot officials identified benefits and challenges resulting from the policy change, and any effects on civilian employees and operations; (2) DOD established clear guidance regarding the policy; and (3) DOD followed its processes when considering the policy change and included an assessment of benefits and costs. GAO collected and analyzed responses to a questionnaire disseminated at DOD's 17 depot maintenance industrial sites, reviewed relevant documentation, and interviewed cognizant officials.
