DEMOB for Reservist - DTS?

I had to individually demob - emergency leave - and had a charge on my GOVCC for the return flight once in the states. I'm a reservist and my higher command hasn't provided guidance yet. I am trying to find out if I need to put the flight into DTS as an authorization, and then a voucher, or if there is a different route I am supposed to go to get it covered?

DTS is used every time, even as a reservist. You know the DTS drill, you the unit has a DTS guru that approves authorizations. If you demob go to or call the Gateway directly to see how they handle individual demobs.

Someone in the HHD Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment should be able to answer your question.
There may be someone in the Deployment / Redeployment cell able to assist, contact the Gateway and don't get frustrated when they tell you to 'contact your unit', because that is what they do.
I hope that the reason for emergency leave is OK and all works out well for you and family.

Did you fly to DEMOB or did you fly home on emergency leave? DEMOB and leave are separate actions. Leave is not typically considered a government expense. However, if you flew back and demobed before returning home then it will be covered. Your unit may be waiting on amended orders to justify the flight. The DTS process remains the same, authorization and then voucher with receipts. Get ahold of someone at your unit who can put you in contact with the right DTS person.

As others have said, your DEMOB station should know but in my experience you would submit a smart voucher on the DFAS website for your entire deployment. There is an option for dispersements to pay your GTCC.
