All DOD personnel must use the Government Travel Card for all expenses arising from official government travel unless otherwise exempted (i.e., new recruits, invitational travel, etc.).
The GTC will be used for all authorized travel expenses during temporary duty, deployment and permanent change of station travel. This also includes cash advances via the GTC in lieu of travel advances processed through the base level financial services office. Centrally billed accounts will only be used for those individuals who are exempt from having a GTC.
This policy is effective immediately for all uniformed members and civilian employees who are not eligible to be members of a bargaining unit.
