| | A PCS travel order is not appropriate for travel under the provisions of this paragraph.� Movement from the old OCONUS PDS to actual residence/allowable alternate destination is by separation order.� The acquiring department or agency is responsible for issuing a travel order, ("Request/Authorization for DoD Civilian Permanent Duty or Temporary Change of Station (TCS) Travel", DD Form 1614), authorizing travel from the point at which the responsibility of the command at the old OCONUS PDS ends and the responsibility of the command at the new PDS begins. The travel order must contain the same basic information as that for a PCS order prescribed in Chapter 3 and should include the following statement in Item 20 "Remarks or Other Authorizations":� "Transfer from another agency without a break in service following return for separation after satisfactorily completing an overseas tour of duty." |
