How does DTS address travel allowances for foreign locations?

The Defense Travel System (DTS) addresses travel allowances for foreign locations by applying specific rates set by the Department of Defense (DoD) for each location through the Foreign Per Diem program. These rates are determined based on various factors, including cost of living in different countries, and the program is designed to ensure that travelers receive appropriate compensation for their expenses while traveling abroad. This method provides a more tailored approach to foreign travel allowances, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all standard per diem rate, which may not accurately reflect the actual costs incurred in different foreign locations. By utilizing specific rates for each location, DTS helps ensure that service members are adequately supported and can cover their travel-related expenses while fulfilling their duties in various countries.
