Corps official lodging facilities will be bookable when 
creating Temporary Additional Duty (TDY) authorizations in 
the Defense Travel System (DTS) effective 25 May 2026.

requirement for official travel for all DoW travelers when
 the location is included in the Integrated Lodging Program
 (ILP). All Marine Corps official lodging facilities meet DoW 
Lodging Adequacy Standards. Their use is therefore mandatory. 
2.a. Mandatory use applies to both military and civilian 
personnel.

the Corps are official lodging facilities.

Approving Official (AO) will ensure that the TDY destination 
in DTS is listed as the installation (when applicable), not 
the associated city or town.  
5. Per reference a, certificates of non-availability will 
only be issued if accommodations are not available.
6. Per reference a, reimbursement for lodging costs when 
conducting official travel will be limited to the official 
lodging rate when lodging is available but not utilized and a 
certificate of non-availability is not included in the travel 
voucher.

Change of Station (PCS) orders and leisure travelers may also
