Who generally oversees the management of travel itineraries within DTS?

Travel Managers are primarily responsible for overseeing the management of travel itineraries within the Defense Travel System (DTS). They play a crucial role in planning and coordinating travel arrangements, ensuring compliance with regulations, and effectively managing travel budgets. Their expertise allows them to provide guidance on travel policies and best practices, streamline the rationale behind travel decisions, and facilitate smooth travel experiences for personnel.

While Budget Analysts focus on financial aspects and Data Entry Clerks handle the inputting of information into the system, their roles do not encompass the overall management of travel itineraries. Routing Officials, on the other hand, may deal with the logistical aspects of travel but do not typically oversee the itinerary management directly. This separation of roles highlights why the Travel Manager is the central figure in managing and overseeing travel itineraries within DTS.
