What is DTS Army (Defense Travel System)?
When you are about to have temporary duty (TDY) travel as a U.S. Army, the Defense Travel System (DTS) is your solution. The DTS Army automates and manages TDY for the U.S. Department of Defense. The system can be directly accessed at https://www.defensetravel.osd.mil/.
It is an online system that helps active-duty Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve members manage several things regarding their travel orders, like making authorizations, booking travel reservations, generating travel vouchers, accepting approvals, and transfer payments to the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) vendor and their bank accounts.
DTS Army Login

- Find and choose “Settings and More” from the drop-down menu.
- Select “Open with Internet Explorer” from the drop-down menu.
- From the Internet Exporer, you will be able to access the DTS.
What to Do on the DTS Site?
The Defense Travel System (DTS) is functioned to make authorizations related to your temporary duty (TDY) travel as an Army. You can cancel an authorization through the website, but please remember that once canceled, a document is accessible and adjustable but cannot be approved.
The organization in charge of funding the travel has the right to approve the required documents which have been submitted and processed on the DTS portal. Once the approval is granted, the reimbursement for payment is transferred to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to your bank account via electronic funds transfer (EFT).
If you want to check the status of your DTS submission, log in to the DTS website and see whether the document status has been received or not. Select “Official Travel” vouchers, and go to the “Sort by Status”. Another way to do it is by looking into the digital signature page on the document.
In conclusion, the DTS Army Travel System will definitely help you manage your travel when you become an Army and those above are some brief details for your information. In case of problems related to the DTS or simply unable to access the site, reach your supervisor to find out your organization’s DTA (Defense Travel Administrator). Your DTA will help to check the status of your document and give you more information to resolve your DTS-related problems. Good luck!
