New travel rules for Reservists - space-required travel options - Brief Article

Army Reserve Magazine, Summer, 2001

The U.S. Transportation Command at Scott Air Force Base has announced an expansion of space-required travel options for reservists traveling for inactive duty training worldwide. Air Force Print News reports that thanks to the recently enacted Public Law 106-65, Reservists can now travel on Department of Defense aircraft worldwide in a space-required status from their home to their authorized IDT assembly when performing IDT training.

The travel eligibility is nonchargeable if the Reservist moves on DoD aircraft. This change will be incorporated in the next update of DoD regulation 4515.13-R, Air Transportation Eligibility. Seat reservations can be made 30 days in advance of travel for certain destinations, and Reserve members must provide written authorization for travel. Individuals cannot use this travel in conjunction with man-days and annual tours. For more information, members should contact their local reserve unit advisor.
