DTS: Defense Travel System Traveler Information for Official DoDDS-E Personnel

Welcome to the DTS Travel Help Desk. The DoDDS-E Area Travel Office has fully implemented DTS for official travel management. Most travel inquires are questions relating to filing travel claims/vouchers and the course of action to take in following-up on reimbursements.

For the District DTA Greater emphasis has been placed on informing travelers what procedures to follow to ensure their TDY travel flows smoothly as possible.
