| | c.� If Government quarters aren't available, reimbursement is authorized for the actual cost of lodging, based on the single occupant rate, up to the maximum for theTDYsite or stopover location.� If theCTOcan find only lodgings that cost more than the published maximum rate, the AO may authorize the higher amount such that the lodging cost and theM&IEdon't exceed 300 percent of the published rate (lodging plusM&IE).� TheCTOmust put these rates on the Trip Record.� The traveler is responsible for anything charged beyond the basic room fee and taxes.� Travelers are to keep all lodging receipts. |

|
| | e.� If the traveler is onTDYat one location for more than 30 days, lodging reservations should be made on a weekly, monthly, or other long-term basis if possible.� When longer term lodging is used, the allowable lodging cost includes the rent; charges for furniture rental (as long as an option to buy isn't exercised); utilities connections, use and disconnection fees; cleaning fees; telephone monthly use fees, but not toll charges; and other services ordinarily provided by a hotel.� TheCTOshould be used to make these arrangements unless theCTOdoesn't provide this service. |

|
| | (1)� If a recreational vehicle (RV) is used for lodging, additional fees considered part of the lodging cost are the charge for the RV parking space, dumping and shower fees, special user fees (for example, cable TV charges) if normally included in the price of hotel rooms in the area, and plug-in fees.� Expenses which don't accrue on a daily basis (such as dumping fees) may be averaged over the number of days the traveler is entitled to per diem. |

|
| | (2)� When a residence is purchased because of aTDYassignment (and not as a result of a desire to maintain a second residence) and used as lodging, the allowable daily lodging cost is computed by averaging monthly interest, property tax, and utility costs incurred.� The costs are prorated on a 30-day month basis rather than by the number of days the traveler occupies the residence. |

| | b.� On other days, the entitlement for meals and incidentals is the fullM&IEfor theTDYlocation or stopover point where lodgings are required unless the AO specifies one of two other meal rates based on Government mess availability.� The two rates are either the "Government mess available" rate when all meals on a given day are available or the "proportional" meal rate when at least one meal a day is available.� A Government mess is available only if: Government lodging on an installation is available and the command controlling the mess has made it available to travelers.� A Government mess isn�t available on interim travel days. The Government mess available rate is the amount of the food and operating expense cost, plus the incidental expense portion of theM&IE.� The proportional rate is the average of the standard Government meal rate and the meals portion of theM&IErate for theTDYlocation, rounded to the nearest dollar,� plus� the incidental� expenses.� When actual mess availability differs from the pre-trip information, the AO may authorize a higher rate (e.g., from proportional to fullM&IErate).� The meal rate established can't be reduced after-the-fact except for a free meal as described in subpar. c below. |

|
| | c.� When at least one, but not all three meals, have been purchased by the Government through some means such as a registration fee, the proportional rate should apply for that day.� This doesn�t apply on travel days to and from thePDS.� Meals served on common carriers aren�t considered "purchased by the Government."� The traveler must indicate on the Trip Record how many meals were free or purchased by the Government and for which dates. |

| | The AO authorizes reimbursement for other necessary travel-related miscellaneous expenses necessary to the successful completion of the mission.� They include, dual lodging costs, the cost of travelers' checks, ATM fees for travel advances on the Government travel card, cost of passport photos, passport and visa fees when a regular fee passport is required, official local and long distance phone calls, currency conversion fees, airport taxes, authorized excess baggage transportation costs, tips for taxis and limousines, boarding fees, conference registration fees, and similar expenses. Transportation costs to and from the transportation terminal in the area of thePDS, to include parking at the terminal, are reimbursable not to exceed the cost of taxi fare to and from the terminal.� Uniformed members may be reimbursed for customary tips for handling baggage at transportation terminals.� Travelers may be reimbursed for tips for handling Government property at terminals or hotels.� The AO also may authorize reimbursement for other necessary incidental expenses when they are clearly in the Government's interest.� For example, an AO may consider certain phone calls to the traveler's home or family while on the trip as official if the AO considers the calls to be in the Government's interest.� If such calls are considered in the Government's interest, the AO should establish the reimbursement ceiling for the calls.� A traveler should find out what telephone dollar limit the AO has set before leaving on a trip.� Travelers must itemize these expenses on the Trip Record.� Other reimbursable expenses must be clearly travel related, rather than mission related (e.g., batteries, tools, film) and not personal (e.g., child/house/pet care, gifts such as flowers for the hotel concierge). |

| | 3.� Joint deployments involve the temporary assignment of members of more than one uniformed service to a provisional force formed for a specific task or operation.� TDY options include regular business travel, EUM, or field duty.� The CINC or JTF commander determines the appropriate option and may specify a different option for different locations.� For example, field duty might be appropriate for the main body of the deployed force, but business travel might be appropriate for an interim staging base.� In choosing the option to use, the CINC or JTF commander should consider, in the following priority: business travel, EUM, field duty.� Under normal circumstances, the CINC should choose business travel unless operational circumstances dictate otherwise.� In general, business travel is appropriate for peacekeeping, humanitarian, and relief missions.� The CINC or JTF commander may approve EUM when it enhances operational readiness, the conduct of military operations, or is necessary for the conduct of training.� It applies to units only, not to individual travelers.� Table 1 shows the effect of each option on per diem entitlement. |

| | Travelers should arrange for transportation through the CTO, even though overnight lodging isn't required.� If the travel is in the local area (see JFTR, par. U3500, and JTR, par. C2400-B) around the PDS, a Government vehicle, public transportation paid for by the command, or a private vehicle may be used.� If a private vehicle is used to and from home, the traveler is entitled to the standard mileage rate for the distance driven, minus the normal distance driven to and from work.� If the traveler doesn't drive to work every day, the traveler is reimbursed the standard mileage rate for the distance driven, less the traveler's normal transportation cost to get to work.� The AO decides the reimbursement amount based on the premise that a traveler is to be paid the difference between the cost of using the vehicle and the traveler's normal cost to get to work.� In addition, travelers are entitled to reimbursement for other expenses such as tolls and parking when using their private vehicles. |

U3500) of the member's assigned unit or home.�� |
