Who Should Read This Report and Why. This report concerns those managers who are specifically involved with managing the Defense Travel System, as well as those managing the development of information technology systems. The report discusses the need to determine the appropriateness of the Defense Travel System to provide DoD with an effective travel management process. The Defense Travel System was envisioned as a general support system designed to make business travel quicker, easier, and more efficient by providing automated commercial and Government travel support services to DoD travelers. The Defense Travel System was expected to represent the 21St century model of efficiency and service, featuring the best practices in industry and plug-and-play components. In addition, the Defense Travel System was to be designed to speed and streamline the entire cycle of authorization, reservation, and claims processing involved in global DoD travel. In May 1998, the Military Traffic Management Command awarded a firm fixed-price, performance-based services contract to TRW Incorporated* for approximately $263.7 million to design and deploy the Defense Travel System. The Defense Travel System contract included an aggressive timeline to commence deploying the system to approximately 11,000 sites worldwide within 120 days of the effective date of the contract, with completion approximately 38 months later.
