Reference to Increased Rates for DoD Conference Attendees:
DoD employees who wish to obtain approval for increased lodging
rates while attending conferences should refer to the Joint
Travel Regulation, citing section C4603 for Actual Expense
Allowance (AEA). Contact your local travel office for policies
and procedures. Government travel orders (DD form 1610) should
be annotated in the Remarks block with a statement similar
to this: "A conference lodging allowance of $xxx.xx has
been approved for this conference." This reference must
be requested for actual expenses allowance in lieu of a request
for the higher conference rate approval. Link to Joint Travel
Regulations
