Need for Reevaluation of Defense Separation Travel Policy
Abstract
Savings of at least $1 million annually can be achieved by paying separating servicemen only for travel actually performed,which is not the case today. Such payments would not adversely affect separating members and would be more equitable to the taxpayers. We brought this matter to your attention in our enclosed November 15, 1978 letter. We stated that the practice of paying an amount not to exceed the cost to the member's home of record or place from which ordered to active duty is not as appropriate as it once may have been. In view of today's highly mobile population, many departing personnel are undoubtedly choosing to establish new residences.
