| | The "Lodging Plus" method is used to reimburse TDY living expenses.� Travelers are paid the actual cost of lodging up to a limit, plus a set amount for M&IE.� Rates for lodging and M&IE vary by location, but should be sufficient for a comfortable, safe trip.� Travelers can also be reimbursed for other necessary travel-related expenses if the AO approves them as appropriate to the mission. |

| | b. If TDY to an installation, the AO may direct use of adequate available Government quarters.� This doesn�t apply during any fiscal year the traveler is expected to be on TDY more than one half of the work year.� The commander responsible for the quarters determines adequacy of quarters.� Only adequate quarters will be offered through the reservation system. If use of Government quarters is directed and other lodging is used, reimbursement is limited to the Government quarters cost unless the Trip Record notes nonavailability (by confirmation number, if provided by the Service in its registration process). |

|
| | 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 the TDY site or stopover location.� If the CTO can find only lodgings that cost more than the published maximum rate, the AO may authorize the higher amount such that the lodging cost and the M&IE don't exceed 300 percent of the published rate (lodging plus M&IE).� The CTO must 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 on TDY at 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.� The CTO should be used to make these arrangements unless the CTO doesn'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 a TDY assignment (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 full M&IE for the TDY location 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 considered 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 the M&IE.� The proportional rate is the average of the standard Government meal rate and the meals portion of the M&IE rate for the TDY location, 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 full M&IE rate).� 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 the PDS.� 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 the PDS, 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. |

| | With two limited exceptions (see par. T4060-B11), a traveler may not be paid for meals within the traveler's PDS boundaries.� For travel outside the PDS limits, when the TDY is more than 12 hours, reimbursement is 75% of the M&IE rate for the TDY location (highest rate, if more than one TDY location).� No per diem is authorized when TDY is 12 or less hours.� However, the AO may authorize the actual amount paid up to the proportional meal rate (not including incidental expenses) for the TDY location when uniformed travelers spend more than the cost of normal meal arrangements for travel outside the PDS limits. |

| | Reserve Component personnel commit to an obligation to participate in 48 scheduled training periods (inactive duty training (IDT) unit drills) a year.� Services have different terms for these drills, such as unit training assemblies, or weekend drills.� Inherent in this obligation is the travel between the member's home and the location where the member normally performs "drill" (the armory, reserve center, assembly location, etc.).� They receive no reimbursement for that commute.� For purposes of this subparagraph, Assigned Unit is a reserve member's designated post of duty and TDY Station is an alternate site outside the local commuting area (see par. U3500) of the member's assigned unit or home.�� |
