Capstone Spouse DTS Orders and Vouchers

Active Duty Military Spouses Only

(Reserve/Guard and Civilian spouse orders and vouchers must be issued and settled by your respective organizations)

1. Use the Defense Travel System (DTS): DTS must be used for all spouse invitational travel orders (ITO) and vouchers.

"but the spouse has no CAC card, how can she/he be in DTS?"   You can load a spouse profile as you do any other traveler in your command.  You can develop the itinerary, sign the order, then route to Bonnie for approval.   For the voucher, you need to prepare the voucher in DTS, print it off, have the spouse sign it, then load that as a receipt in DTS.  (This is to ensure the spouse knows how much reimbursement they are getting and we have a record of that in the file with her/his signed voucher.)  Once the signed voucher is loaded as a receipt, "T-ENTER" the voucher and it will route to Bonnie for approval.  T-ENTER is a way for you to sign for them.  It is completely legal, as long as the signed voucher is added as a receipt.

2. Add Final Approver: Spouse ITO's in DTS are required to be routed to Capstone for inclusion of the NDU funding data. Add as a final approver for orders and voucher:

Bonnie J. Swanson 044-12-3456

Due to the complexity of our claims, if Mrs. Swanson is not added as a final approver, NDU will not liquidate the travel voucher and your unit will pay all below expenses covered by NDU.
