How to Get Copies of Your Travel Orders

Military-issued Travel Orders assign government employees to posts throughout the world. At times, Invitational Travel Orders allow families or significant others to visit wounded soldiers at his or her location. Because Travel Orders are issued by the government and sometimes assign government employees to combat zones or other dangerous areas, making photo copies or distributing your orders to several people is strongly discouraged; however, the government does not deny that circumstances may arise in which your family or someone close to you needs a copy of your orders and thus makes it possible to obtain copies.
