What primary action can DoD travelers perform using the DTS?

The primary action that DoD travelers can perform using the Defense Travel System (DTS) is the creation of authorizations and travel reservations. DTS is specifically designed to streamline the travel process for Department of Defense personnel. It allows users to generate travel orders (authorizations) and make necessary travel arrangements such as booking flights, lodging, and rental cars.

The capability to create authorizations ensures that all travel is pre-approved in accordance with military regulations and policies. This serves not only to facilitate the planning of the trip but also to ensure that the traveler adheres to budgeting guidelines along with other compliance measures.

While tasks related to personnel transfers, training modules, and budget allocations are important within the DoD, they are not functions directly tied to the DTS platform. DTS is focused primarily on travel-related activities, which is why its functionality includes creating authorizations and travel reservations as a core feature.
